updated the thread title to 2023, thanks to OP Mr BoomerE30 for starting it!
I just signed up to do the 2023 n00bs Rally down in Death Valley. think Mr bananachunks and Mr stratslingr77 are going, too?:
2023 dEATh vALLey nOObs rALLy March 22-26
last year, on my way to the n00bs Rally, Mr MTERK and I met on the Carrizo Plain, where he was on his way to do the
SoCal BDR, along with several other BARFers.
last year Mr m0t0_ryder, Mr Titus58 and I did the Redding Dirt Rider’s first
Shasta ADV Campout, which Mr ChiefH134 helped organize, and I’ve been keeping an eye out for the 2023 version.
going to finally try to show up at Mr Catfish’s annual Downieville fiesta:
2023 Downieville Daze! July 20-23
BARF will probably do two StonyBARF rides this year, along with their usual BARF rallies, which I usually turn into ADV rides. rumor is Hawthorne, NV, might be back in the mix. I’ll post up here as they get organized.
here is Mr Butch’s first StonyBARF 2023 thread:
StonyBARF 17 May 4, 5, 6, 7, 2023
what I love about StonyBARFs are they are so easy, show up or don’t style, basically, and right in the heart of the Mendo NF. plus, my excuse to get my CA fishing license.
hopefully Mr cwanger2000 and the OMC will do the epic
Sheetiron 300 this year, usually held the weekend after Mother’s Day, maybe.
some old 2022 pics, for motivation:
Mr m0t0_ryder with his mighty TW200, at the Redding Dirt Riders 2022 Shasta ADV Campout.
Mr bananachunks and Mr stratslingr77 on St John Mountain at a 2022 StonyBARF.
and the gang enjoying the campfire at the Grey Pines group campground at Mr Butch’s last 2022 StonyBARF.
anyway, that’s how my 2023 ADV riding season is shaping up, so far.
see you all around the campfire, maybe.
