    I like Whitt Rd videos. It makes it a little more personal when the video is from somewhere you have ridden. I once crossed these creeks. I had no idea where we were or where we were going. I was just following the pack. Up for where ever my friends led me. I had never even heard of Whitt Rd. I had no idea that it was difficult. It looked like any other creek crossing to me. I got into one of the ruts and just went straight. No problem. I will know to be nervous the next time.

I won’t tell you about getting pile driven into a 3 foot mud hole full of water last year, but it’s safe to say I have decided that the Yamaha will Stay on the less technical trails and I will use my dirt bikes to access the knar!

    I go to church with a guy who lives on Cavender's Branch Rd. It drives him crazy when the Jeeps and side by sides run that road. I think the locals put up those signs that say "closed to through traffic" hoping it will deter people. It's a public road, so they can't do anything about it. I ride through there at least once a month. I don't slow down for some of those creek crossings. I just send it on the DRZ 400. What road is that with that long concrete slab across the creek? I don't recognize it. I live in Nunnelly about 2 miles from Highway 100, so I ride those roads all the time. Most of my riding is solo because my riding buddy won't ride when it's hot.

      I'm thinking of a song that applies to them and to us both > " This Land Is Your Land" I believe it was written by Woody Guthrie. It used to be an anthem of our hearts at one time. I think a lot of top performers have released their own voice to it. I get it, those people move out to that land to get away from the crazy and we ride out to that land to get away from the crazy.

    Ps I'm exhausted, and I'm not even on my bike. Last year, I was up in a canyon quail hunting. I took a different trail back to pavement. Dropped my bike four times in sand desert soil. I said a prayer and asked God to please don't let me drop it a fifth time. I killed some good birds that day, though. Lol. Oh, btw, I ran out of water, too. Slept like a baby when I finally made it out.

Everything was great till it wasn't..LOL Cost me about $700 in parts and a huge shot to my ego. The top heavy tiger is now strictly limited to road and sometimes dirt road duty, and my little KLX250S gets all the dirty time. Watching you guys tackle that trail makes my knees and ankles hurt. I've heard it said many times that if it all goes as planned... its not really an adventure. Thanks for taking us along!

    • @letstakearide
      @letstakearide 3 месяца назад

      I create it in GPSvisualizer.com in the section called 'SANDBOX DRAWING. save that data from the 'GPX save data icon option. Then I upload it into BASECAMP '2D' [the old free version only] and click on each route to invert them all, as going in the same direction. I manually hold down the shift bar while I'm clicking on the tracks I want to join together as one. Then I rt click to connect these now highlighted tracks into one track. Export it, then load it back into GPSvisualizer 'SANDBOX to clean it up for final save. That process of using both programs on one file, bakes all the Garmin info into the file, and it bakes all smartphone apps into the file. Anybody with any device or app can use this one file now. It also cleans it up where the finished file is very small. When someone shares a file with me it's usually 1,234KB and after I re-save it from GPXvisualizer it's better and maybe only 123KB or smaller.

    I do believe I'd rather have something in the 250- 300cc range mainly for the light weight especially when I'm 67 years old. I was leaning toward the Kawasaki KLZ 300 until I sat on it. I thought I was going to have to get someone to help me get off of it. Now the choice is between the Honda CRF 300 and the Yamaha XT 250. I hear the Honda has more low-end, but the Yamaha sits lower and is lower in price. Will have to test ride them both. By the way I don't think I could walk on the trails you rode. Very good video!

He would say "Let's Take a Ride" and take me down a road like that (I was on a 500 pound bike). I totally get it, and agree with your words!
