Idaho Nerds off Road

The Elusive Hagerman Off-Road Park

As we sit here in a random south Idaho parking lot, getting buffeted by 30mph winds and much stronger gusts, it seemed like a good time to write another blog. We’ll be here for at least 4 hours, til 6pm, when the wind is supposed to die down, then driving as far as we can before we’re…

California dualsport Nerds off Road Tent Camping

Accidental Endurocross in Shasta-Trinity National Forest

When we get a chance to stay somewhere for a few weeks, enough time to really get to see an area, we like to spend a weekend tent camping high in the mountains (places we would never take the 5th wheel, but somehow always has better 4G than RV parks).This summer in Northern California was one of…

California dualsport National Forest Nerds off Road

Italian Bar Road Ride, Central California

Having sort of learned to hate sand in Page, we just weren’t very excited about it, nor the 90 degree heat, when we were outside Joshua Tree. It’s ok though, we made up for it when we reached Angel’s Landing, and found that not only was the weather much cooler but the sun was going down after…

House Rock Road, Utah – March 2016

We spent the week with a poor, sick, cat, and we were sure that our weekend would be spent hanging out with her. We stayed home Saturday, gave her medicine, got yelled at a lot, and by Sunday she was feeling a little bit better so we took the opportunity to drive out to Escalante Grand Staircase…

Kaibab National Forest Ride – March 2016

So last weekend we went camping in Kaibab National Forest. As usual, we’re not very good at planning despite traveling full time, so we get about an hour into the drive towards the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to find out that Hwy 67 is closed for the season (still). That’s the highway that goes to…

Getting Ready for Spring – New Toys and Oil Changes

We both got new bike accessories for Christmas (from each other 0f course). I got new Flexx Bars from Fasst Conpany, because of my awful wrists and worse suspension. I got Ross a Wolfman Luggage bag for our longer trips and moto-camping. It’s been a hard few months just seeing our bikes sitting in the garage, but at…

Colorado dualsport National Forest

Lemon Reservoir and Forest Service Road 597

On one of our previous rides in the area we ran into a woman walking her dogs who rode a dirt bike and recommended the forest service roads nearby Lemon Reservoir, about 7 miles down the highway from us near Vallecito, Colorado. We had an excellent ride in great weather, probably some of the last good weather for…
