The Buckhorn Dual Sport
The Buckhorn Enduro.......ah yes. as a young boy growing up in Long Beach, Ca during the 70's 80's i was raised on the rocks sand and cactus of the mojave desert. by my early 20's I could pick a line through just about anything and blaze a full tank until i puked. I would read Dirt Bike magazine and ling for the trees, mud and singletrack of Northern California, gazing wantingly at the pictures in Cycle News and the other publication about this mystical event: The Buckhorn Enduro.
30 years later i've found myself living in Redding Ca, home of the Redding Dirt Riders and the Buckhorn Enduro.
The Dirt Riders have decided that the enduro has gone the way of the Do Do bird and have given up the Enduro conquest in favor of smaller club rides and the annual poker Run and The Shasta Dam Grand Prix.
Enter Dual Sport.
The Dirt Riders Have decided to convert the Buckhorn Enduro into the Buckhorn Dual Sport, giving new life to the iconic signature event.
Originally, the Buckhorn waqs held at Buckhorn Lake, East of Redding on Roseburg lumber property. Unfortunately, due to the popularity of the event and the location, large masses of the unwashed public invaded the serene, patoral setting of Buckhorn and absolutley thrashed the shoreline leaving erosion scars that have lasted decades. The event was moved to several locations and finally voted down last year.
This years event will be a two day gear transport event that will be staged North of Shasta Lake and run North to Mt. Shasta on day 1, returning to Shasta Lake on Day 2.
