Road to nowhere? Perfect.


Desert grassland

Descending into the Central Valley.
The BMW Motorcycles of Ventura County shop ride series begins anew! Though requiring minimal off-pavement experience, this will be one of our higher-mileage rides. Crossing two mountain ranges and the desert in between, few rides offer as much variety while remaining accessible to riders just beginning to develop off-pavement riding skills. We will have a restaurant lunch stop in Tehachapi, with significant paved and unpaved riding both before and after.

Owning the Grapevine - part
of our route homeward.


Riders familiar with the general route will enjoy a few new twists and turns, either in the desert, or the mountains – or the OTHER mountains – or all three. Bring your camera; there’s always a chance we’ll catch an early Spring poppy bloom in the Mojave. And if there is time after lunch, we’ll make a short detour to go see the REAL Tehachapi Loop...

Huzzah! Another best-laid plan "gang agley" yet survived all the same.
['10 ADR 03/13 - R2 (became, oh, R8 due to mud... and stubbornness!)]
