Default Mojave Preserve

There is no intended date for this one. I just wanted to throw it out there.

This weekend theres Superbowl. And I need to change the axle shaft seals on my p/u, along with a few other things on it I've been procrastinating doing, since I'll already be getting dirty...

But I do want to do the Preserve ride soon, with a guide. Jeff, I know you'd be up for it. But I don't want to slow you down so much you wouldn't enjoy it. I'm not super slow but you are quite a bit faster, I think. But, whoever wants to take me through there, I'm lookin forward to it! I want to make a long ride of it, But finishing up on my side of town. (After riding dirt for hours the slab gets my back and neck in a tizzy.)

I was thinking about heading down there this Saturday with Slackline but the weather report is calling for rain both days and i don't want to ride in muddy conditions so my backup plan is for the following weekend. So with that said and weather permitting i am going to try next weekend 13 Feb, thats the day before 14 Feb for all you married people and you can be home for that day. So I'm throwing that date out and lets see where it goes from there , btw I'm not to knowledgeable about Mojave but i got GPS with Topo maps and paper maps as a secondary source of where to ride.

Sounds good to me. I'm sure we can't get too lost with gps... So, who wants to ride with us?

I will be a game time decision based on what's going on with work or home but i love it down there and we can ride dirt all the way there and back. BUT... that doesn't leave much time to spend IN the Preserve tho...

Why, how long does it take to dirt there? And back by way of the west side?

I wanna say 2 - 4 hours depending on # / length of stops and speed traveled.
