Left: From the saddle of his BMW HP2, Peter stops to take a photo of the weathered sign at the beginning of Lippincott Road, just south of The Racetrack, which descends 2,000 feet in just a few miles. Despite the warning that high-clearance 4x4 vehicles are required and no tow service is available, clueless drivers occasionally attempt to drive down the steep, rocky road in their 2-wheel-drive SUVs. Top: Paul works his way down Lippincott Road, with Saline Valley in the background. Above: As the saying goes, if you’ re not the lead dog, the view never changes. Likewise, when riding off-road, if you’ re not in front, you’ re usually getting a face full of dust. But that rarely dampens enthusiasm, as demonstrated by this happy fellow we met near The Racetrack.
