Failed attempt to ride from Bakersfield to Laughlin via mountains, desert roads, and Mojave Rd in one day. Two attempts were made to go through the mountains but alas, the second gate was closed and fenced. No point in getting caught by a forest ranger so we turned around, again! 50 miles of dirt and we hadn't made any progress. So, we took it easy and enjoyed the day riding through territory we'd never ridden before. Areas included: Piute Mtn, Kelso Valley Rd, Dove Springs, Jawbone Canyon, and random dirt and paved roads to Barstow. We were going to ride the Mojave Trail at night but poor planning meant not finding the right starting point of the trail. It was already night so we bailed and road from 30 miles east of Barstow back to Bakersfield. Being January it was cool so going over the Tehachapi pass was not fun for my brother who had less layers on. I installed hand warmers the day before. Incredible upgrade. 5:45am-9:45pm for 16hrs and 450 miles of riding.
