Re: New Gear Reccomendations

Thank you for all the good info. I was looking at the Thor Sentry XP because it got good reviews. I like the single piece chest "plate" and the integrated elbow guards. Reveiws suggest it is cooler than some others, but i take that with a grain of salt. But then i saw some Alpinestars A10 ...

Re: July 14-15

I would prefer to start 9am or earlier. I figure beat the heat, any weekend crowds, etc.

Grew up on three wheelers and dirt bikes, been riding/racing pavement for over 20 years, had a KTM smoker for a few years when i was living in DC but only rode it a few times. Now im back in MD and seeing as trails are few and far...
