9th Annual Clayton Dual Sport Ride - Event Date: 14 Oct 2010 - 17 Oct 2010

No one?

I'd love to go and my husband would be in too!  He went last year and had a lot of fun.  Hopefully it will end up being earlier in Oct as my sister's wedding is the weekend after the one posted above (which of course means I'm tied up for two weekends.  lol).

Hey i am intrested in this ride as well. my husband and i both are getting ready to plan a ride for the fall. i dont know anything about it but please keep me posted.

It's an annual ride in SE Oklahoma in the Kiamichi Mt area, we all stay at the Clayton Lake campground, some people get there as early as Wed, but most roll in on Thurs and leave out on Sunday. It's not sponsored by anyone, but riders break up into small groups and head out each day, usually groups of 5 to 10 people are ideal to keep the dust down but I've been in larger groups and even smaller one's... if it's rained recently larger groups aren't as bad. It's good to have a GPS or two in each group so that it's easier to find your way back... I've led rides the past 2 years and I'm getting somewhat familiar with the common routes down there, but I like to try new areas every time I go. You get a 3 day pass for $10 or 15 I believe and camping is like $7/night. At the very minimum you'll need to carry tools and supplies with you to change a front and rear tire incase you get a flat, and someone will get a flat, you don't want to be that guy that doesn't have a tube and air and tools to change his own tires. I also carry misc tools/parts to deal with other common issues you might run into but that's up for you to decide. Camelback's are a must... oversize tanks are preferred but not entirely necessary. If you don't have a large tank you'll want to plan your routes where you can hit a gas station midday so that you don't run out.

This is all I can think of now, hopefully someone will post what the "official" dates are. :)

We usually have this right around the 16th of October, which is my son Adam's birthday.  That is the day we have reserved with the campground.  I could contact them and see if we could do it the following week on fall break if that would be better for others, but would have to check with the campground first.  We normally reserve this a year in advance.
