NOTE: I've ridden the road from Lake Roosevelt to Young and on to Highway 260 on a 1984 Harley-Davidson FLH Electra-Glide Shovelhead; it can be done!!

BONUS: When I reach 260 I'll cross over to Woods Canyon Lake and onto Forest Road 300 to Strawberry Lodge for apple pie and sweet tea.  Yummy, Yum!

Hello J,

We should arrive at Highway 260 by 3pm; after riding The Desert to Tall Pines Roadway and having lunch at The Antlers.  If you also ride Forest Route 300, which is entirely optional and I am not 100% sure that I am actually going to do it myself, then do not plan on returning to Phoenix before 8pm.

Best regards,

Don Stanley

Subject: Ride on 5/12

I'm hoping to join the group in Superior but since I'm not familiar with the

route I was wondering how many hours I should allocate for the ride.

BUMP REMINDER!

Southwest FJR Forum Dual Sport Ride this Saturday 5/12: Be There Or Be Square!

Great News! Offroad dirt bike Mexico riding Amigo Tucson Joe is now going on this ride, Jose and I rode all through Copper Canyon. Rode from Creel to Sea of Cortez!

Nothing technical on Saturday 5/12's trek, so easy rushes and fjrrider could make it. Perhaps even dcarver and yamafitter could hack it, maybe! But it's a long day's ride!

Great Ride up the "Desert to Tall Pines" trail. Here is Brian - AVGeek with his Yamaha Super Tenere.

Tucson Joe with his Suzuki DRZ400S.

Papa Chuy Viejo with his BMW F650GS Twin.

Behind Joe and Chuy's GS is mountain ranching and farming hamlet of Young, AZ.

We had a fantastic lunch at rebuilt Antlers Restaurant, it's twice as big now!

Food ****: Brian - AV Geek got the Jalapeno Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich.

Food ****: Joe and Chuy got the Hot Pastrami with Swiss Cheese Sandwiches.

Tucson Joe gets ready to dive in; best home made potato chips I ever tasted.

Had a good time, but 460 miles on a DRZ is just to much for this old man.

Didn't get home till 8:30. Found out the tail light and brake light quit working.

Now I have something to do today.

Thanks Papa Chuy for a good ride.

Thank You Joe, it was a great ride!

That was fun!

Here's Papa Chuy "blazing" up 288 towards Young...Joe is right behind him...

The sign at the overlook to Pleasant Valley and Young:

And Papa Chuy and Joe discussing the merits of Depends...(J/K!)

 

[Joe]

Depends is a very important topic at our age.

Luckily I didn't need them on this ride.

I'm with Joe, out on dirt rides we just piss our riding pants.

The deer and bear don't care, so neither do Joe and Chuy!

Here's a look at the results of Poco Fire on the Desert to Pines Trail leading from Lake Roosevelt to Forest Lakes, AZ. Another Excellently Crafted Ride Report from Jo and Hal, Thank You Folks!

Hal and I rode to Young yesterday to check out the fire damage from the Poco fire, and also eat at the new Antlers restaurant! It's been open almost a whole year already, it will be on July 14. You should go there, it's amazingly clean and modern!

Here is the story, posted on my blog:
