Bartman took off from St. George, Utah, this morning on a Death Valley dualsport moto trip. Although I haven’t seen any photos yet, he forwarded me this link from his SPOT GPS Tracking System. Pretty cool that you can follow up-to-the-minute progress of the route in realtime. Hopefully Bart will send some photos from the trails. I was hoping to be on this trip, but couldn’t break away from work. Man, the moto is calling in a big way. This is what happens during ski season when the sun is out and the snow is getting thin. At least until the next big dump of fresh powder, I will have moto brain.

Last weekend’s Colorado Rockies Dualsport Moto Trip came and went, and after a week of digging out at work, I realize I am long overdue for some new posts. Lots of stories to tell, and I really need to go back through the notes and dredge up the memories of an amazing trip. We welcomed a new rider into the posse, Jake Rippstein, the Cache County Ripper, who deftly floated his big KTM 950 Adventure S over everything with speed and grace, and homie wasn’t even running knobbies. Jake ejected a day early, leaving via road from Telluride, and missed most of the epic passes, but we thank him for his wet wipes, Folgers coffee tea bags, and of course, footage below from the Wrinkle Cam. The clip below was from the Friday morning leg from Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab, past some amazing Red Rock scenery, on the way to Gateway, Colorado.
