Big 'ole Moto BogleyFest on the Paiute Trail-Sept 23-25

We've been discussing this on another thread and it already looks like we'll have a few coming. We've got more than a month to make sure everyone knows about it and can clear their schedules now. The goal is to finally do a true Bogley Moto event on the Paiute. My group goes once a month in the summer and we've had a few Bogleyites come here and there but this time we're looking for a large turnout!

We'll do a Paiute Trail weekend. Typically we ride Friday, Saturday and return on to Vegas on Sunday but it's all open to discussion. We definitely will want two full days of riding whether it's fri and sat or sat & sun I don't really care.

I'm open to suggestions for routes if anyone has something in particular they want to hit but otherwise I'll just plan for a 110 mile loop into Beaver and a 140 mile loop into Koosharem. We can adjust the trail accordingly for varying levels of ability but I'm pretty sure all of you can handle it.

Typically we camp on BLM land sans toilets and water (there is a stream) south of Circleville but again I'm open to suggestions. The site we normally use will be crowded if we end up with more than 4-5 guys.

So post up, clear your schedule, and lets see how many can make it!

EDIT: Forgot to add that 4 wheelers are welcome too, especially if they are fast. They actually make it so I can rest more often!

Putting this on my calendar. Perhaps I'll come down on Thursday night. :ride:

Illll be there with a couple of buddies.

Great. My group will be 2-3 guys that have all been up there before.

Now we need to see if Garbonzo & Fourtycal will come. I'd love to see Garbonzo on some of that stuff up there!

Ok, now that I'm on the right thread, I'm IN. I'm good for either 2 days, preferably Friday-Saturday. Love the mountain riding! I just hope we do some technical sections. Can't wait!:2thumbs:

I am confused thought I posted on here to see if my toy hauler trailer will fit where you usually camp? My buddies and I like nice comfortable beds.:2thumbs: What about riding from town to town and renting some cheap rooms?

Is this a street legal thing only? Dual sport gas to gas station?
I'm a XRR guy in the pricy-cess of making repairs to radiators and putting on a super tanker. Hey it's a good bike with may scratches, I mean brush marks:lol8:
I have know idea about the Paiute trail other than it has to be much cooler temps than the dez.:bandit:
Bike is dirt only right now but would love to hook up with Bogley riders for some trail riding,camping,beer drinking and all that may imply.:2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:
Hey count me in and Happy to put faces and bikes to some names.

Where we normally camp is a smaller place but it has a stream and big trees. We can certainly camp anywhere and well adjust accordingly to accommodate everyone coming. Just up the road from where we usually camp is a campground.

I wouldn't riding from town to town to sleep. The towns are too close and I would hate to pack more stuff on my bike. We'll be in and out of the towns but only for gas.

I'll be on a 2stroke yz250 that is not licensed. The trails are all dirt with only brief stints on pavement into the towns for gas.

Most of the time we'll be on atv two track. It's typically tight, twisty, and lots of fun.

I would suggest to everyone that is coming to get out and ride. The Paiute is hard and the 120+ mile days can be a killer if you haven't been riding. Especially if you start dropping your bike!

If we home base out of Circleville what trails do you suggest we ride each day?

First Day we would do the 01 up to the top then the 88,67,&68 into beaver. This section of 45 miles is amazing. The we would do the 05 up out of beaver to the 01 by the reservoir. Then the 01 up to the summit, we typically don't go that far north but we're bound to have people who haven't been up there and it's got great views. Then we'll come back in the 26 &01 to circleville it'll be about 120 miles. One of the best loops in the system.

On the 2nd day well go east over the mtn to antimony (some extremely challenging stuff in there). Then we'll go north to ottercreek. And take the 72 up to the 01. Then 01 to 53, 33, and into koosharem. Then coming out of koosharem we'll do 01 to 89 to 01 to 02 down towards marysvale them well cut south and go back up to the 01 an into circleville. Should be about 140 miles.

That would be my suggestions but I'm open to ideas. We try to avoid dirt roads as much as possible and stick to trail.

So these towns are ok with dirt machines riding in for gas?

They have specific roads designated for off road toys to get from the trail to the pump.

Sounds great to me.

So nelsonccc,
Is there anything I might need a gps for or do we just ride by the seat of our tanks?:
Creek crossings? I hope.
some photo ops? I hope

Have any maps and standard weather temps up there for that time?
I have seen some beautiful picts of your rides up that way and I am very stoked........
Let me know when your come through ST. George, And I can just follow up to camp.
Or if I can help in any way. Big grills, coolers or anything that might help... Just bring the good beer will ya.

I just uncorked my exhaust! Boy is it louder and seems to have added 20% more power and response. :stud:
I also ordered a little larger sprocket for the back to keep me off the clutch on steep climbs and new rubber to put on before this trip. I'll be changing the oil this week and doing my first valve check on this bike. :2thumbs:

I can provide GPS tracks of the routes we'll take but it shouldn't be necessary. Just follow the guy in front of you. We always wait at the junctions for the next rider. When we went last month we had a ton of creek crossings. We'll still have a few in September but none that are too deep or sketchy. There are tons of chances to stop for pics. We're pretty laid back.

The weather is nice in September but it can get cold up top. I've been snowed on in August at the top and rained on more times than I can remember. We usually start out in normal riding gear but change to a jacket or sweatshirt if it gets too cold or wet.

I knew that was coming!! Being a noob isn't easy. Sit on this bowl of ice cream and tell me what flavor it is.:haha: Smart Ass!

I've always run a 49 in the back. I thought that was normal? I've even considered going to a 50, but we do a lot of riding in steep, loose conditions where a smaller sprocket would kill me.

Looks like you're getting ready for the trip! I'm about to place $300 dollars in orders from Rocky, Ebay, and Bike Bandit to fix the transmission....depressing.

I'll have 13/48 with this change. It was as low as I could go and keep the stock chain. I think it should be just about right. :ne_nau: I also went with a steel sprocket...no bling for me. :haha:

Definitely steel! I still don't understand why people insist on running an aluminum sprocket to save a few grams for trail riding. I've had my steel sprocket for over a year now and it still looks new.

I've had stock steel for 1 1/2 years going on 3k dirt miles. I can't imagine aluminum lasting as long. what the hell do i know, I'm still a noob.:ne_nau:

Just found some maps of the area and had some questions. Trail #68, Is this going to be a down hill ride going into Beaver or a up hill ride after lunch and gas or am I just completely turned around?

Unlike some I only own one bike at it is a heavy MOFO, XR650R with a 6.3 acerbis tank.

Thank God it pulls in first gear very well. It is very tall and very hard to duck paddle with. Kick starting it is another story.

Am I a little nervous? HELL YEAH, Am I going to ride? HELL YEAH.

But I am hoping that #68 is on the way into Beaver all the same.

I'm stoked about this ride and I'm looking forward to the good times however they show themselves.

Sounds like a great adventure.

But don't worry. If I loop it,It will look like it is all under controll. haha.

Sounds like you might just have a crowd on this one nelsonccc. Sounds like 15-20 riders?
But as the time gets closer it might just be 4-5.

So has anybody have any video of # 68 trail?

The 68 will be downhill going into Beaver (this is typically what we do)but we do this because we think this makes it harder. The switchbacks in there right after the summit are steep and loose! But you'll be fine just rolling in control downhill. NOW......the part you need to worry about is the 05 out of beaver. It looks like road but it's all 2track and there is a 2 mile stretch that is pretty hard with big rock steps and loose marbley type stuff. If you have a strong first gear you'll probably be fine. My struggle is always keeping the 2 stroke spooled up while going up hill in that area. The switchbacks out of circleville are also pretty hairy.....just saying.

The hardest section we'll do is on the loop into koosharem, on the 53. It is by far the hardest section and the area where we see the most wrecks. However if there are people who are uncomfortable with it we'll set up a bypass on the 01. No biggie.

The 2nd hardest section is on the Antimony trail into Antimony between the 01 and Antimony. Lots of rock, and some off camber, loose, steep, sections. I used to always stall out and/or tip over in that section.

FUN!

So who's coming at this point? I should have 3 or 4 there.

Count me in.
Looking forward to what sounds like a ride to remember.:stud::stud::stud:

Garbanzo and I are in and perhaps a couple other buddies.

I'll be there as well as a buddy or two. I'd be surprised if we didn't hear from Fourtycal as well.

I may have blown the top end on my Yami yesterday. Not sure as to how much damage yet, but I'll be getting it fixed (at any cost) prior to the ride. So much for owning a 4 stroke.:angryfire: Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the valve train issues with the Hondas on the other post.:facepalm1:

ouch Garbanzo.:cry1:
Them 4 thumpers are not cheap.
But the bottom end is a real luxury:naughty:

You'd better get it fixed! Just think, if it was a 2 stroke you'd be out 2 hours and $100 to fix. Easy.....

OK
What are we now about 4 weeks out?
I have a neighbor that wants to go but I'm not sure if he is for real.
But I did tell him it was an open invite.
He just picked up a 2 smoker 250 Honda and seems to be very stoked about the riding area.
I know I for one need lots of saddle time that is getting hard to come buy when it is 105* plus in the ol desert.
5 am till 11am is not cutting it.
120+ trails in the high country never = 80 in the morning rides in the heat :lol8::lol8::lol8: At this altitude.

Late September: Is this when the golden Aspen start to pop? In the high country?

Your all going to laugh your asses off when you see some fool show up on a BRP with a super tanker gas tank and exclaims to all that it is all good and it is all about the ride.

But don't put my ass behind the 4 wheelers for safeties sake. Let her rip baby.................
Let us rip it up.

At this point, I can only agree. Low end grunt is expensive! Dropped it off yesterday and it looks like about a week to 10 days. Hey, that sounds familiar!!! Anyway, I plan on having it up and running in time. If not, I'll borrow a damn bike!!

It's in the machine shop getting worked on. I should have it in a week. Just in time to get a few break-in rides before the big rides!!:stud:
