FODS V
Dates are now set, March 15th-18th, 2012.
As much as I would like to make this start on one side of the park and end on the other I just don't think it's practical. Getting the trucks/trailers to the finish point would require too many non-riders to jockey vehicles while we play.
The Longstreet Inn and Casino will be the primary base of operations for this assault on the desert. Those that prefer The Stagecoach in Beatty can make the 30 minute ride down to meet up for the rides.
Don Stanley (BeemerDonS) had to play poker with TWO women to get us a reduced rate at the Longstreet Casino and I appreciate your efforts sir. This rate only applies to three nights occupancy of March 15-17, 2012. If only two nights are booked it will be $10 higher per each of the categories below!
$39.95 for a Standard Room with two queen beds on the Highway side of the property; still very quiet.
$49.95 for a Standard Room on the pond/park side of the property; also with two beds, but away from the main highway!
$59.95 for a Suite; these are really nice and swank; on the pond/park side with a King Extra Bed, fireplace and patio.
When FJR Forum Members book they must mention FODS and either throw out the name of Don Stanley or 'UberKul' Brad.
When AZ Beemers Members book they must mention Death Valley Daze 2012 and throw out the name Don Stanley or BeemerDonS.
Please post up in the original thread when you have booked a place to live for this ride and I will keep a running list of attendees.
I will work up a couple rides for Friday and Saturday in the 150-200 mile range but they should all be big bike friendly with a gas stop shoved in there somewhere. VStroms etc. should be fine on all these roads with some reduced tire pressure.
These will be unsupported rides so bring food, fuel and tools to take care of yourself for a whole day out riding in varied weather conditions. There is little to no cell service in this park and any problems we have will be self rescue unless life threatening. I'm still a rookie Death Valley rider but feel free to PM me if you have any questions or concerns.
If you don't have a dual sport bike feel free to come anyway. The weather should be good but us dirty boys will have all the fun stories and mock the slaves to pavement mercilessly!
