"Desert Daze" 2013 - Dual Sport Motorcycle Event

Just got back from Dragoon, AZ.. where the "Desert Daze" Dual sport event took place. www.dualsportdesertdaze.com
The riding down there was great,  however only two women were in attendance.
Bottom line.. they would love to have more ladies out there!! Come on.. Let's ride!
The area supports all levels of riding from extremely easy routes to "I'm not ready for that!" hard.
This is a very laid back event, in which the routes were unguided,
but group riding is alive & well & encouraged.
There are a few guys out there that would be happy to guide,
and I'm sure it could be set up in advance.
They have compiled GPS tracks for most of the routes that can be downloaded prior to attending.
The other gal out there was riding a BMW 650 xcountry and I was on my Yamaha XT225.
 The event is based out of the Triangle T Guest Ranch,  which offers tent and RV camping, as well as casitas. We were in a tent and reserved an RV spot so we could have water and electric to plug in all the gadgets. Worked out good!  Dry camping is abundantly available.


Warming up the Yammy!
