Um, no.
I guess I should have had put more air in my front tire. Plenty of rocks up there to get pinch flats.

Great pics Phil..
BS excuse or not... I was happy to have Bruce drive the UTV (else I would have had too).

You can replace Bruce with Kevin and have a very true statement there! My out of shape @$$ was huffing and puffing on the last loop I did. Plenty of nice frozen tree crossings and even a couple small branches had me picking the bike back up on that one.

Phil, thanks again for the open invite! You did a great job with the trails, lots of variety in them. Plenty of off camber stuff had me on my toes and the ground.

Great to put a few faces with the internet names, great group to ride with! Nice to meet you all!

You did really well Kevin. You had the heaviest bike of the group. Not to mention Bruce, Sonny, and myself were straight up cheating with trials bikes. Picking up the big 4T bike just builds muscle anyway!

That last trail of the day was tough. Just making it, you are doing good. Some of those off angle logs/branches were extra slick with snow over them. The only reason I didnt hit the ground on 1-2 of them is because the trials bike is actually light enough to put a foot down and catch it.
Im glad you are learning to ride off camber lines. That used to freak me out but now I kinda like it.

Ill keep working on trails and adding little pieces. Yeah, Im liking how the place is turning out.

really glad you have that place Phil. Learning a lot on inclines, getting over the fear of tackling them. Helps when you know the people going ahead of you. Put me down when available for trail cutting/cleaning and such.

Yes, its always nice to watch other riders go first. Makes it seem like its at least possible.

I remember one of my very first offroad rides on my DR350 (I was an adult in my 20's). Just some super simple stuff in a field and a super easy trail through some open woods. There was a ditch across the field. I remember being by myself and riding up to this 2-3 ft deep ditch and thinking "no way, I don't think a dirtbike can traverse this..." An hour later there were two neighbor kids there on probably TTR90's. I was sort of following them and I was blown away watching both these kids ride down into the ditch and up the other side.
