Thanks to all those that have recently added their new addresses and contact numbers for the 2011 season. We've had an overwhelming response to the club format for 2011 and have some exciting concepts in the works. Over 250 riders have signed up for the update list so far and we plan on keeping everyone in the loop. We have some new areas to explore and some virgin private land areas North of Mt. Shasta with incredible singletrack. It's nice to "know people"!

March 2011

The snow is melting and we're getting prepared for grooming season, be prepared for a barrage of emails with updates and fun info to keep you in the loop. We're always looking for volunteers to cut and huck, ride and drink!!

Our plan this year is to run loops between Redding, Mt. Shasta, Klamath Falls and all parts in between. It's gonna be good!

4/16/2011 Shasta Dam Grand Prix, Redding, Ca

2/7/2011 We rode to 5,000 ft, hit 2 feet of snow on Trinity Mt. Road, found an abandoned 2010 Chevy Silverado 4x4 and turned around.

2/16/2011 We have been receiving snow at 2,500 ft and above. High winds have been knocking down trees.

2/17/2011 Snow in Redding!

The denial process and hibernation. So begins our annual wait to see if there will be any more storms that will dump on the open stuff. The number 1 rule of thumb up here in the Redding area is "you're not goin' anywhere until the snow melts on the top of Shasta Bally". In reality we have to be patient until around July 6th at 1:00 PM when that final snow drift becomes passable to complete the most epic 130 mile Dual Sport loop you'll ever do. Patience Luke,.......and when the time comes, be one with your chainsaw.

In the future we will be having small invitation rides for members of The Norcal Dual Sport Social Club. Entry is simple, send an email to info@norcaldualsport.com, let us know what you ride along with your honest riding ability and we'll send you invites to upcoming rides suited for your bike, route preferences's and ability. We here at Norcal Dual Sport have determined that there's more fun to be had with smaller groups of satisfied riders, rather than a rider that travels six hours only to be dis-satisfied by either the route or the group. We have not yet decided what membership will cost or if there will even be any membership fee.....we'll have to go out, have fun and see what it costs to make everyone happy! In our future endeavors, we will be dividing event into two classifications: KLR and Enduro. With that said, send us an email and tell us a little about youself. The North State is an incredible place with even more incredible scenery and trails. Our mission remains as it has been from the beginning: "Invite riders to the North State to enjoy the ride".
