2011 US RaptorSource tour

[socalrappy700]

Well in talking at Silver Lake this weekend we came up with an idea to go on the ultimate road trip.  This is just in the birth of the planning but so far the plan is to take two weeks and pick the top areas to ride in the country and spend at least a day riding at each one.  This will be big and we are talking with some of the mags as well as some of the tv shows to see if they would like to be apart of it.  Since most if not all of us will be on Yamaha I think this is something they would like to be in on and we are talking with them as well. This is set for 2011 due to the fact that there is so much planning that will need to take place as well as people needing the time to save up the time off from work and the funds.  So post up your favorite place to ride and we'll vote on what places to hit.  This will be big and if you can swing it this is the one you are not going to want to miss.  

So I'll start it off...My top pick is by far Glamis or anywhere Hefe is.

[socalrappy700]

Yes, you'll pay extra...but yes.

+1 for St. Anthony's, but is this a dunes only trip?  If not there are some epic trail rides in Taylor Park Co, worth adding

[socalrappy700]

I don't think it will be a dune only tour since I'm sure some will want to check out some of the well known trail systems such as Hatfield McCoy.

Tim was telling me all about his trip he just came back from, I already wanted to go there but now I'm very enthusiastic about it.

[socalrappy700]

I'm sure that place will be one of our stops.

this was my exact thought.. No way. 

[Hefe]

cant wait!

the hard part of this cruise idea is to find the prime 2 weeks in the year that will provide warm/cold enough weather to ride multiple locations across the country.  Obviously Glamis must be done, but you're not gonna ride it in june/july/august/Sept when the other locations are prime becuase it's too hot.
April and May are do-able for Glamis, but the northern areas like St. A's, Oregon, Colorado, and Silver lake might be too cold or worse have snow.

I think we need to get resident experts to chime in to identify a timeline for ridablity at our destinations of choice.

perhaps there's an oppertunity here also with 4gunz big rig

Chartering him to hall all our quads and gear to our locations would certainly lesson the logistical burden on some of us, and with enough people splitting the bill it may prove cost effective.
