I got there early to unload and set up. \u00a0I met a few of the others as they rolled it. \u00a0Of course, they are easy to spot, they all have bikes. \u00a0\ud83d\ude00 \u00a0Met a guy who rode in from Washington, who was really from Canada, long way to go, he was pretty entertaining. \u00a0As were a couple from TX. \u00a0 \u00a0It was a small rally so it didn&#8217;t take long for every one to show up that night.<a href=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160325_150717437.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1728\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1728\" src=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160325_150717437-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20160325_150717437\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160325_150717437-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160325_150717437-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160325_150717437-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160325_150717437-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;disorganizer&#8221; Raven was a hoot. \u00a0She was very hands off and the rides where really just suggestions on a map on the wall of the saloon. \u00a0I found a couple of guys to ride to Tombstone with the next day. \u00a0It&#8217;s funny how most guys just assume that you can&#8217;t really ride. \u00a0It was also funny who I wasn&#8217;t the one who drop my bike that day. \u00a0\ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160326_114255564.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1730\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1730\" src=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160326_114255564-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20160326_114255564\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160326_114255564-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160326_114255564-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160326_114255564-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_20160326_114255564-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The next day was just wondering around trying to find a route, it was the most fun day of the three, but least productive for finding a route. \u00a0Each night was a campfire, with entering characters, and stories about the rides for the days. \u00a0I would go back again next year. \u00a0Only this time I would make sure to have a GPS that could do GPX tracks so I did not do so much back tracking.
