I'm am also currently working on the Ouachita Project. The goal of
this project is to gather as much information as I can about the Ouachita
National Forest in west central Arkansas and southeast Oklahoma.
The Sierra Madre mountains south of Monterrey, Mexico, (an area named the
Sierra Leon region by intrepid explorer Milton Otto), are an amazing &
fantastic dual sport adventure playground! If you want an extra dose
of adventure in your riding then don't miss this event. The riding
here is superb and rivals that in the Copper Canyon but is a whole lot
closer for everyone west of New Mexico. One trip to this area will
have you wanting to return again and again.
The Texas
Adventure Rides is a 3 day adventure / dual sport ride & rally occurring
annually the last weekend of April in Junction, TX. All adventure /
dual sport riders are invited to attend.
During this event
you can discover the best paved and unpaved roads in the Texas hill country
and west Texas. You can ride the best dual sport road outside of Big
Bend, cross the largest, scariest river in this neck of the woods, pay a
visit to Judge Roy Bean's Jersey Lilly Saloon, or tour John Wayne's Alamo.
You can be one of the few who not only know where Pandale, TX is but to have
also ridden through it.
Dual Sport Adventure and Off-Road Riding the Ouachita National Forest
The Ouachita National Forest (Ouachita NF) encompasses 1.8 million acres
in west central Arkansas and southeastern Oklahoma. An extensive
system of ~6000 miles of paved & non-pave
roads and ~120 miles of single track make
the Ouachita NF a fantastic playground for dual sport and/or off-road
adventure.
Unfortunately, good riding information about the various dual sport
adventure or off-road riding opportunities available in the Ouachita NF is
scarce. The purpose of the Ouachita Project is to gather all available
information about dual sport and off-road riding in the Ouachita NF and to
consolidate it into a single source of up-to-date, accurate riding
information.
The assistance of the riding community is vital to fulfilling this goal.
All riders with information about the Ouachita NF are encouraged to
participate in this project.
The riding in Big Bend may be the best in Texas. From twisty
paved roads, to scenic vistas, to the best dual sport road in Texas, the
Big Bend region has something to offer every motorcyclist.
February is a great time to ride in Big Bend - the nights are cool
but the days are generally warm & sunny. In other words, when the
rest of Texas is often cold & rainy it's a great time to ride in Big
Bend.
This is not a dual sport specific event.
Uncle invites all motorcyclists to join him at his Ride the Rio
"non-event" event and discover the wonder of Big Bend.
