Guidelines: No spectators, camping available on site. Bib-mousse inserts or heavy-duty tubes with sealant are recommended for those that are bringing their own bikes. This property has tons of mesquite thorns and cactus that will puncture tires. Four-strokes must have exhaust pipe header wrap, no exceptions, this is required by the landowner. Header wrap can be purchased here. We will have spare header wrap on hand.

Anyone that shows up to ride that isn’t on the entry list will not be allowed to ride, please don’t think that it is okay to bring an extra rider.

Rules: 

No smoking in open areas!!  (if you must smoke, do it IN YOUR VEHICLE or in your trailer)

No campfires. No open flames, No BBQ pits

No ATVs, UTVs, or side by sides

No pit riding

No riding outside of camp without a guide

Four-strokes must have exhaust wrap on the header pipe to prevent grass fires

Reminders:

Please show up with your bike ready to go, we will get started each day at 9:00am and we will not delay start times.

Stay to the right on roads, especially the main caliche road as there could be truck traffic and other group traffic

You are responsible for the rider behind you, make sure that when making a turn at a split that the rider behind you sees it 

If a rider behind you indicates that he or she would like to pass, please wave them by

We have 100 miles of trail with options for some challenging add ons if the group is interested. The first loop is around 35 miles and there will be an opportunity to top your tank off in camp prior to starting the second loop. 

Day One: Riding Clinic

Speed Drills
Learn drills and techniques to make you a more efficient and safer rider.

Advanced Techniques
Hill-climbs, rock gardens, off-camber sections, sandy creek beds, hard-pack corners.

Bike Setup
Detailed instruction on proper bike setup from five-time national enduro champion Russell Bobbitt. Russell and Cole will review each participants bike setup and make recommendations as needed.

Things to consider:
We have lots of mesquite trees and cactus at the ranch so we encourage you to use bibs or at the very least use heavy-duty tubes with sealant. The dirt is sandy hard-pack and we recommend either a soft terrain tire up front and something that wears longer in the rear. Michelin StarCross 5 soft front with the StarCross Medium rear is hard to beat! Our elevation is 3,000ft so jet accordingly. Hand guards or deflectors are recommended. Guides will carry fanny packs with tools but we also encourage you to be self-sufficient on rides like this.
