About the Ride

 This is not a race.

 

This is a fun event for everyone who enjoys a ride on their 4WD vehicle be it a Quad, or a Side-by-Side.

Take your time to enjoy the ride and the beautiful scenery of the Los Barriles back country.

There will be refreshment opportunities, and other activity stops along the way.

In small groups of about ten to a dozen people, setting off at 5 min intervals in the morning, you will drive 20 to 30 miles up Arroyos and on graded roads and through the back country.  Enjoy the  stunning views over the mountains and the Sea of Cortez from the ridges behind Los Barriles.

Before departure you will be given a set of written driving directions. These will lead you to fun puzzle stations. Here you will be able to test your knowledge about the theme for this year's  ride . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The course finishes at Lazy Daze Beach Bar where you will be able to get a drink, and lunch, and discover how many answers your group got correct.

Here you will also be able to find out if you have won a raffle prize.    

   

Parts of the trails will be dusty so bring along a mask. Also bring along plenty of money for drinks and raffle tickets, pen/pencil, and reading glasses (if needed)

Los Barriles Back Country ATV Riding -   Common Sense

If your group wishes to take a break during the event please move off to the side of the trail so other vehicles can easily pass by

Always drive with your headlights on.  (It makes it much easier for the others to keep an eye out for you)

Drive respectfully past people’s houses.  (Drive slow enough to not kick up unnecessary dust)

 

Do not damage Rancher’s property, fences, gates, buildings, waterlines etc. (Bad behavior by ATV riders will result in the loss of access to their lands)

 

Drive slowly in the presence of livestock. (The milk supply of a cow dries up if the cow gets distressed. The result is the death of their calf causing a big financial loss to the Rancher)

FAQ

FAQ

What mechanical checks on my vehicle should I do before the event?

You are going out on the rough roads of the back country, so at a minimum you should check :- your fuel level (It would also be prudent to fill up with fuel before the start)  oil level, coolant level, and tire pressures (see below). 

What tire pressures do you recommend?

You would be strongly advised to lower your tire pressures from what you use driving around town.  Folks who regularly use these trails usually run with 8 – 10 lbs in the back and 6 lbs in the front.  This will make for easier riding over the sand, and better grip on the trails.

What If I have a mechanical problem enroute?

First move your vehicle from blocking the trail. Then send the rest of your group on to the next marshal. (There are several marshals out on the course.)  The marshal will set things in motion for help to arrive. 

What if I get stuck on the trail?

In the unlikely event this happens: Reduce your tire pressures for better grip. Put rocks/dirt under the wheels. Get the rest of your group to help push/lift your vehicle as you drive. It is amazing how easily moved ATVs are by a number of people pushing.

Are there any refreshments available?

Yes. there will be a bar set up serving ice cold beers and soft drinks somewhere enroute.  (all proceeds going to the Los Barriles Feeding the Hungry Charity) You will also be able to get drinks (and food) at Lazy Daze at the end of your ride.

                                                 

Helpful hint:

Ask the lead vehicle in your group to drive 15 – 20 yards past the question station before parking, and then walk back to it.  This will give other vehicles in your group time to arrive. It also gives them easier access to the questions than if your vehicle is blocking them. Please encourage the driver of the second vehicle in your group to do the same.
