I'd like to come back and ride some new single track with you guys. It didn't work out as well for me this time... got there just before lunch on Saturday and couldn't get the timing right to find any groups heading out with the double-secret single track experience. John and I paired up to look for some single track on our own, and did our best, but its not the same as having a larger group that knows all the best trails. Maybe next time!!

Maybe I need to do the Friday night tent thing just to make sure I am there if the best stuff happens earlier on Saturday?

A CRF70 is bigger than a pw and quite a bit heavier. The 110s are then the next size up while staying automatic. Once you get to the 125s/140s that's when you hit regular motorcycle controls with clutch and all. I don't know if the CRF/XR 80 is still produced but those are/were clutch bikes too.

My only problem with electric is run time. Right now, I'll fire the PW up, top it off with fuel and oil, and turn the kids loose. They push it back to the garage when it's out of fuel.

Is there any new single track for this year?

Yes. Kevin cut in some new stuff and finished off the trail he started last year. I didn't get to ride all the new stuff but the one he finished (that comes off of shamrock) is my current favorite.

Great. I'll have to organize another MtRidge ride/trip later this year.

I'd be totally down for that!

Cool. A CRF70 is probably the right machine to buy next then with a 110 not far behind it. My one buddy just got a 125 and that thing is fun for even me to ride.
