So... which one is Upper and which one is Lower? I was too busy trying to keep the DAMN KLR upright to notice

Saturday Mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid 50s.

Sunday Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 50s.

I'm going new tires or not! Pick a day!

The old F150 handled the orv surprisingly well, I think Chris rebuilt it w/ a few special mods or something. Though Chris forgot to mention my awesome sidesaddle bumpstart and then continuing ride up an impossibly steep rocky hillclimb. I think I was doing a wheelie most of the way too. Maybe... :w...

I'm about 50/50 as to whether I'm going or not. I already took the days off of work but the Apple Blossom Festival is the same weekend and it all depends on what my family's plans are that weekend.

I'll let you speak of our difficult trials.

this is starting to sound like an epic, if brief, adventure!

Actually when we got home and put the baby down for a nap, I stayed home to watch the baby and I let my wife take her bike for a short spin. Hawbottom...

It has one loop that is about 20 miles of gravel. The track I rode today is below. The ford is over Steep Creek and marked on the map.

Here's some pics of my ride today. I almost dropped the DAMN bike crossing the creek! Yikes! So, I'll just have to go back and practice that some more! :deal: I did see some critters. There was a live skunk in the middle of the road. DAMN thing was sitting between the edge of the road and a big mud ...
