Winter Dual Sport Ride

James Pratt January 6, 2011

The fourth annual Winter Dual Sport ride is scheduled for January 21-23 in Talihina, Oklahoma. For this hard core three day ride each participant must be self-contained, with winter camping equipment, food, fuel for a fire, and warm clothes and sleeping gear. Riders will camp out each night regardless of the temperature, and ride dirt roads, logging trails and some rugged 2-track trails. This year the ride starts in the Talimena State Park and goes off-road over into Arkansas, then returning Sunday to the park. For more details click here.

Trouble in Terlingua

Three intrepid Oklahoma dual sport riders and a friend from Kansas head to Terlingua in the winter to explore Big Bend National Park. Trouble awaits the unwary crew after a rare rainstorm turns the normally dry desert into sticky mud that burns clutches and strands our riders overnight in the freezing desert.
