Little/Big Bike ADV short overnight to Carrizo
Eric B and I had a Little/Big Bike ADV ride for a quick overnight to Carrizo Plain.
Eric has the nose for routes and got us all the way from San Jose to Carrizo on secondary roads that were awesome. Because of the miles we had to do we didn't take a lot of pics, but we got some. My Spotwalla for the trip - It's the Little-Big bike ride because I was on my 1090 and Eric was on his KLX250 as seen in front of "old 67" after a killer run down 25 and Coalinga/Los Gatos Rd. ![]() We were the Wolfman Luggage Pinup krew Eric's KLX is sweet. ![]() We snagged one of the last sites at Selby CG Photo Credit - Eric B he calls it "1090 at sunrise" ![]() Out on Soda Lake Rd, and look closely to see the remnants of a tumble weed Eric hit. ![]() The brown Carrizo ![]() ![]() After running Soda Lake Rd to Maricopa for gas we hit Elkhorn Rd for the way back. Eric is a great tour guide and knows a lot about the area, stopping frequently to point out interesting things along the way. ![]() The massiveness of Carrizo ![]() The top of Parkfield Grade. Eric coasted down the paved section for six miles. ![]() Two days, 696 miles, 14hrs saddle time, with the big KTM averaging 47mpg ![]()

F yeah! Looks like an epic ride. I've never been there before. Definitely on my bike bike list of places to go. Any wild flowers or has it been too dry?

There were very few flowers. They were there but you had to look closely. I want to go back and trailer the XR4 and camp/ride for a few days. Endless exploring options there.

Good stuff! Hardly a lick of green out there in early April! I was actually supposed to be out there this week, but circumstances killed that.

I'm as handy with basecamp as it allows. Some days are better than others. Basecamp sometimes goes three sides of a square instead of A to B. I can check the Spotwalla link. Thanks for response. Scott

I did track on my GPS, and I'll try to extract them for you. I'll PM if I can get them off cleanly.
