DIRTY BARF Trip; Stony? Dec 6th-8th?

not sure this would be everyone's choice for a place to go dirt riding in the fall and it involves a fair commitment of time and some money, but I'm currently in Europe so its not actually that far for me... :teeth

I'll be riding dirt bikes in Morocco for 5 days in October (KTM450s, TTR250's also available if you are on a budget) and there are a couple of open spots left on the tour...

this is the dirt bike riding part: (any other activities before/after these dates are for you to decide...)

October 20, 2013: Take a private minibus over Atlas mountains from Marrakech to Ouarzazate, where the bikes will be waiting

October 21, 2013: Ouarzazate to Zagora (stay in hotels)

October 22, 2013: Zagora – Bivouac at Chegaga (stay in tents)

- Chegaga will be one of those parts of the Sahara Desert where there are sand dunes as far the eye can see... there will be some dune riding training at Chegaga (so the ride itself will be shorter this day than on day 1 and we'll have the afternoon to try dune riding and/or collapse from exhaustion after doing dune riding!)

October 23, 2013: Bivouac to Foum Zguid (stay in hotel)
- this day we'll actually be riding on part of the 2007 Dakar Rally stage (that was the last Dakar Rally held on the African continent)

October 24, 2013: Foum Zguid to Tazanat to Ouarzazat (stay in hotels)

October 25, 2013: Ouarzazate to Tichka Pass via Ait Ben Haddou (This is halfway back to Marrakech, we would get here for lunch and then have a 2 hour transfer back to Marrakech on a private minbus)

tour will be run through this shop: (if you look on the website, it will say the tour is full, but we had a couple of people drop out)

If anyone is interested, PM me and I can give you more details
 
i think we should do stony. i wasnt sure if it was open or not i kept hearing it was closed. but sounds great to me. would like to wait for the rain so thinking the weekend after thanksgiving maybe? let me know guys. ill probably be tent camping unless someone has a couch or bed in their rv or trailer :) it doesnt have to be that weekend but i seem to recall the first real rain being thanksgiving weekend the past couple years
 
I assume you mean the weekend of December 7 and not November 30. If so, that should work for me.
 
i really need to get through trail 28 too last time i made it about half way because i got my second flat of the weekend. (too excited to ride and forgot to check the inside of the tire before putting in the new tube the day before, found a tiny brad nail) davis staging area looks good to me. however letts lake is nice and closer to the single track stuff. if you have a plated bike id bring it. i dont =( it does make it a little easier sometimes to get to the trails you wanna ride quicker.

no one does :teeth but i think thats when the rain will come. i mean any weekend works for me but this will give people time to plan and we can get a decent sized group going.
 
Budman you will love the 500 EXC. outta the box bitchen! even better with a few cheap mods and gearing.

I would love to go camping and dont want to wait till the dust clears....:teeth

Love this idea, but I am still a ways out from joining.
My treat to myself after one year of successful knee replacement includes the letters K T and M and the number 500 and it is street legal, but one good dirt bike.

Would love to drag my old bones out to something like this.
Have to grab Butch one day and join in. Looking forward to 2014.

You guys have blast and share the pics!!
