Thanks Bill. The Airhead requirement is on Chris. I still need to make that investment 🙂
LATEST UPDATE FROM JOHN COVINGTON
This message is sent to all registered guests of DVR27 and a few others.
We are getting some really nice door prizes sent in to DVR27. Irv Seaver BMW Motorcycles and Euromotoelectrics.com contributed, and some really nice other items promised. Many of which are Airhead specific, altogether some nice stuff. I will work to see that the Airhead specific items go to Airhead specific owners. General motorcycle stuff will be available to all.
Our Plan A, for Furnace Creek is progressing at a comfortable rate. Plan B is in Plan A.
We have many volunteers and are comprising a packing list list for anyone volunteering to transport rally necessities. Please recontact me to put you on our spreadsheet. If you are bringing firewood, an easy up, ice, anything. I hope to send out the spreadsheet to all preregistered guests. So they can get an idea of what Gary Jackson is bringing. Understand the my firewood commitment. See what Peter Smith and Arrowhead Screen Printers do for us. Also the contributions of Aric and Jeff. Understand that this is a club effort, every bit helps tremendously.
John
Chris,
Good point on the Banner I do have it, I will check with John Covington to make sure there are no ‘conflicts’ considering 🙂 How did the reassembly go?
Hi Folks,
If you have registered with the AirHeads for camping, you most likely received this from John. I am also copying this here for reference in case it was missed to keep folks updated.
From John Covington:
Thanks to all that preregistered.
As of right now the Federal Government is back running and Death Valley National Park will be open starting 1/31/19.
Death Valley Rendezvous 27 starts 2/14/19. Federal funding goes until 2/15/19. On 2/2/19 I may drive out to the Park and try to talk with the rangers and camp host, possibly check out some alternate locations.If we are denied access to our reserved sites then money will be refunded.
I will try to keep everyone up to date on the latest.
Go to airheads.org for the current updates.
If you received this email more than once you may have registered for another person. If so forward this to them or send me their contact info.
At this moment we have 77 preregistered guests, even with last years numbers.
Don’t forget your bathing suit, a bunch of head to the pool Sunday afternoon.John Covington
714-309-8077SCBMWRC Ride Outline – Death Valley
February 15, 16, 17 – 2019
Day 1
• 283.76 Miles – Estimated 4h 58 min ride time w/lunch in Ridgecrest
• MEET UP 8:30 AM Starbucks 12700 Limonite Ave, Corona 92880
• Rider meeting: 8:45 AM
• KSU time w/full gas: 9 AM
Ride Route Summary: We will meet at a Starbucks in Corona (Eastvale) off Limonite for pre-ride meeting and festivities. Please arrive with full gas. A bit of highway time via the 15N to the 395 until we land in Ridgecrest for lunch at Kristy’s Family Restaurant around noon. From there, we will continue up the 395 joining the 190 in Olancha for a scenic ride into the valley. Slightly different from last year so folks can enjoy some alternate views into the park. We will make a quick stop in Stovepipe wells for those who need gas etc as I recall it is a bit cheaper than fuel in Furnace Creek to gas up early for the next day.
Day 2
• 215.61 Miles – Estimated 5h 29 min
• MEET UP 9:00AM – Furnace Creek Park Entrance (so those who are not camping don’t have to pay
entrance fee (just in case) w/full gas
• Rider meeting: 9:15 AM
• KSU time: 9:30 AM
Ride Route Summary: We will head down to Dantes View, it will be cold so dress warm as it was cold last year so we can soak in the views (I missed this bit of the ride last year). A bit of backtracking to Beatty, NV for lunch at KC’s Outpost Saloon and Eatery, and a good time to top off for gas. Always good to get gas often in DV and there it should be a bit cheaper. Just a few miles down the road will be a stop at Rhyolite, a ghost town for sightseeing and photos. Following we will move on Ubehebe Crater assuming the road is open, then back to Furnace Creek.
Day 3
• 351.18 Miles – Estimated 8h 8 min
• MEET UP 8:30 AM – Furnace Creek Park Entrance (so those who are not camping don’t have to pay
entrance fee (just in case) w/full gas
• Rider meeting: 8:45 AM
• KSU time: 9:00 AM
Ride Route Summary: We will head out of the park via the 190 and grab the 127 in DV Junction and either Lunch and gas in Baker, or just gas if folks are not hungry and press on via National Trails Highway. We will eventually land in 29 Palms for gas, and if we did not eat in Baker, perhaps enjoy lunch at the BBQ joint which was an awesome stop during the Laughlin ride for a later lunch. I plan on heading towards, the 10, 60, then 71 for a ride termination at the Starbucks off Chino Hills Parkway if folks are still somewhat together by then. Of course, folks can take their own way home, but that pin will be the official end of the ride. Looking forward to seeing you all out there!GS911 training for me would be a great topic. Since I have one now and learning more tricks form those who have had theirs a bit longer would be awesome.
Hi Karl,
I plan on being there to support the event but don’t plan on doing any wrenching on my bike. I still need to erode 3k miles 🙂
Bill,
I have an e-mail circulating with the BOD to discuss the overall Saturday regarding. Stay tuned for updates. Thank you!
Indeed it was; thanks Jessie and everyone who attended. For those who want to see the pictures, I took with the non-phone camera, here is a link which will remain open for 30 days from now.
Thanks,
BrandonI have deferred to the ride leader, but I am in favor of either day. Whatever John would like to do regarding I am supportive.
Rick and I then plead the 5th from DV two years ago. I am still washing off the grey muck from the washouts :p
Bikram,
The airheads will be there from Feb 14 – 18th. I am leading a group there Friday returning on Sunday, Feb 15 – 17.
Karl, to confirm your findings indeed rooms still available and simply mentioning the club did the trick. They also already know we want the ground floor to sleep near our two-wheel babies 😀
Should be an exciting ride and time with all. Looking forward to the adventure Jessie!
Welcome Alan and Shirley. It was a pleasure to meet you on the 1st during the frozen ride and see you this last Saturday. I hope to see you on another ride soon!
Ron,
How are you seeing this thread? When I posted it last night, I could not get it to show up in the Forum or on recent topics. It is still invisible to me but yet somehow you snagged it? I have a note out to Rick to see how I broke it 🙂
