Next week I'll be joining 140+ other motorcyclists in Death Valley for several days of dual-sport riding. It's an informal annual event, called "n00bs rALLy DV march MADness"
I'll be tent camping and riding my '93 Suzuki DR250S and '81 Honda CT110 dual-sport motorcycles around the dirt roads of the Panamint mountains, Death Valley and other nearby areas for several days.
We should see amazing geography, old ghost towns and mines, and get some really hard-core offroad riding in. The Friday big loop ride alone is over 220 miles of mostly offroad, some of it pretty tough. Plus the evening group dinners and fireside festivities are sure to be fun.

There's very limited phone/internet coverage in Death Valley, so uploading of pictures will likely have to wait until we return.
