Some pics from my phone


Vanowar on the way to the glory


Enjoying the animals while someone is doing what?..


..Right, fixing his flat tire


That's how my feet looked almost every evening (and it hurts to walk)


Cooling with puddle water seems to work only in short term


Hensley settlement - all the fun was to get there


Gnome-sized Nobody with a regular-sized flask


Happy greetings while being at hobby

this is such a familiar picture. I have several myself of the same guilty party doing the same thing.

Yo, Flat-fixer.... YOU NEED THESE!
Quit screwing around & get some....

So far, I'm liking Tubliss enough that I think it was worth the money. Flat-fixer seems like to be able to plug his tires a dozen times before feeling the need to change the racing slick out for fresh knobs.

This was definitely a ride for the record books! Awesome twisty roads, awesome dirt and good, technical single track! This ride had it all!

Some of my pics from the ride:

Home base at the The Real McCoy Inn.


I'm not sure what Darrel is selling but SJ seems to be buying.


How much pressure Paul?!?






The mighty Dizzer, crouched and ready! Still with air in both tires...



Coupla crazy DAMN guys decided to get a little early riding in. How'd that work out fellers.


Dinner, Day 0

Foreboding morning fog.


Fueling the bodies.

Day 2:


Breakfast.








Kato, trying to blend in.


Kato, not blending in...

Uh guys, what say you hurry up so me and Yanis can get off this collapsing road?




"Patiently" waiting for:


Apparently Honda's don't use their brake pads.





KTM, making its own path, again.

Waiting "patiently" again.





Unfortunately my GoPro decided it would rather stay in Kentucky and departed my helmet. So, no videos.

It was a great ride and there was already talk of doing it again. I would definitely be up for another ride on the KAT!!

[phoo]

Thanks, Skinny-J, for setting this up and being an amazing KAT-herder! The trip was great -- the route was fantastic and the company was fabulous.

I already got new saddlebags (The Rigg Gear Adventures that I think Nobody had), and I did find my brand new GPS, which I'd put inside a bag with my clothes before bringing it up to my room. I'm looking forward to the next one!

I've got these https://wolfmanluggage.com/products/end ... addle-bags
Just older model.

The bottom straps show some minor wear, i think next time will adjust them to sit on different spot and the bags will last very well
