Code "AMA" it comes to $79 plus tax and you get a free breakfast in the morning. They have plenty of rooms but good to be prepared.ĬALIFORNIA INN AND MOTEL 6 STILL HAVE AVAILABILITY IN BARSTOW.ĬALIFORNIA INN AND MOTEL 6 ARE AVAILABLE IN BARSTOW. Quality Inn has a FREE real breakfast, ie bacon, eggs, toast, beverage. Quality Inn is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from the Ramada where Friday check-in Saturday check-out is. It's on the ground floor in the courtyard area so we'll park our bikes in front of our window(did it last year no complaints). There are 4 single queen bed smoking rooms available as of 9/8/14Ģ double beds for 79 and only 10 dollars more for a roll away bed. yes, District 37 has entered the 21st century. You get roll chart directions (roll chart holder needed) It is the best organized ride i've ever been on. PLEASE GO OVER TO D37 SITE AND READ ALL THE RULES, AND POINTERS ON WHAT TO BRING ie clothing/gear/tools/food/tires/etc etc. This post was intended to get the ball rolling and get the info out to the ADV crowd. Plan amongst yourselves on who will ride together and who will stay together. so no worries on packing too much, just pick up your bag after each days ride. Your GEAR will be transported from Palmdale-> Barstow and Barstow-> Las Vegas for FREE with FLANDERS trailer. Las Vegas has a fenced off area where you will park. there will be local kids(teenagers) that watches all night long for a small donation(i think it was 10 bux last year). SECURE MOTORCYCLE PARKING IN BOTH BARSTOW AND LAS VEGAS.īarstow is secure at the Ramada Inn(you can park there even if you're not staying at the Ramada). OR (this takes time) -YOU drive your truck to Vegas before the ride, park it in the New Orleans parking lot (LAB2V has a HUGE area fenced off), rent a car to drive back to L.A., then when you ride LAB2V you have your truck waiting for you. it's Vegas, shouldn't be hard to do that. trust me on this.Īnother GREAT idea for trucking/trailering back is to have a friend/wife/girlfriend drive your truck to Vegas Saturday night, talk her into it. It took over 8 hours from Vegas to Lancaster/Palmdale with Admo Tours van a few years ago. Thanksgiving weekend traffic combined with usual Vegas to L.A. When returning home, it's a good idea to leave EARLY Sunday morning or wait til Monday because Vegas to L.A. The LAB2V is the days after Thanksgiving, on Friday November 29 and Saturday November 30 EVEN IF YOU HAVE GPS, YOU NEED A ROLLCHART !!!!!! SPARK ARRESTOR AND QUIET EXHAUST A MUST ( 96db ). YOU DON'T NEED AMA MEMBERSHIP FOR THIS RIDE, BUT YOU SHOULD TO SUPPORT ALL THE EFFORTS THE AMA DOES FOR MOTORCYCLIST RIGHTS AND KEEPING OUR LAND OPEN. quote parts of it, let's keep this thread uncluttered.Īlso there will be updates and changes on this post over the next few months. I will keep this first post updated over the next few months.Ĭheck the D37 message board and sign up to the board if you haven't already. So just to get some of the So Cal peeps the info and to stoke the fire about the best ride here in CA !!! Palmdale Supercycles - Barstow Ramada Inn - Orleans Hotel Las Vegas This is your friendly reminder to ride safe.Īnd have a fucking blast because this is the best dual sport ride in the world! There is also unmarked paved road crossings as well as unmarked dirt road crossing so please check before you cross.Īnd this is the desert so there will be washouts that could maybe possibly break a BMW swingarm. this is Thanksgiving weekend and there are a lot of OHVers out in the desert this weekend and 4X4 folks, so keep your eyes peeled. there is 2 way traffic on all routes that you will be riding so ride with caution. The view and landscape is exactly the same! Obviously this is just a small personal advice since at the beginning we found a very repetitive landscape.LAB2V is an open route. Very often the Route 66 runs along the Interstate and, especially in the first half of the Route (I would say until the Oklahoma State) and I would suggest you take the Interstate to be able to go to a higher speed. From here on, you will need to enter and exit the Interstate in search of Route 66. This is already part of the Historic Route 66. Or use GoogleMaps on your own phone with a local SIM card.įrom the airport merge onto the Interstate 294 South and then move on to I55 WEST. You should instead bring your own or even buy a new one (!). Tip: I generally recommend not to rent the GPS through the car company as it turns out to be quite expensive ($10-15/day). We rented the car through the site American Car Rental from O’Hare Airport for €800 + $750 to drop it off in Los Angeles + €11/day for total insurance (tyres, windscreen, theft, fire). Chicago, IL -> Saint Louis, IL | driving time: 4h10 – 465km
