7 11 24 Dual sport - To Trail Kitchen - "The Canyon", Sycamore creek
Heat wave calls for some air movement - so dual sport is in order.
Rich led us , Scott, Kevin and myself made the trek.
I had wanted to make it to THE TRAIL KITCHEN - an awesome place to visit and eat - and we did. Then made it on up to Clay WV area, then back to THE CANYON, and finally Sycamore creek. Nice ride - didnt get to do all of the planned trails as we came across a huge dead tree across the trail - and helped the side by side crew to finish cutting it with a hand saw :( Great ride overall. Anxious of the next

Просмотров 1903 месяца назад
Rich took us to a beautiful area with rock structure. There is a rock face that is jumpable to those with the guts to hold the throttle down and point the bike at the rock. It has a ledge on top which makes it almost impossible to clean jump it. And it is extremely slick up there. I was impressed by Tim and Brent's performances. I try to learn from watching them - but I dont think I will be pra...

Another awesome ride with Rich leading the way. Steve B showed up with his KLX 300 and a Dunlop D606 on the rear. He wanted to ride for an hour or so with us - had another obligation. I tried to stay up with him - he is a fast rider anyways, and he made that KLX act like a two stroke on the single track we rode with him. He really is an amazing rider - I always said my KTM 790 Adventure R will ...

Scott has a new Beta 300 and he wanted to become more familiar with the clutch on it - so he wanted to ride and do some hill climbs today. I have ridden with him for close to two years now and he has moved my riding up several notches, by challenging me to ride stuff that I might otherwise not try. Today was such a day and we had a great ride.

Neat creek section with rocky, technical climb out of it at the end. I remembered the trail but I still didnt hit it hard enough to make it over the tree root that hung me up last time. Overall did better this time but still want to conquer it without stopping. Maybe next time....

Rich took us on another awesome ride. Montana, Brent, Kevin, Pat ,Mike B and myself showed up. Mike had bearing problems that took him out early - but we rode on and had a 6 plus hour ride for 45.3 miles. I am just doing highlights but there are lots of them.

I counted 22 crossings. I thought I recorded every one. Perhaps I missed some but anyway it was an awesome ride and the creek crossings threw in some spice on what would have been an average ride, had the water level not been up.

    Thanks for posting that! I've cleaned it before, and I've failed it horrible before, too. I think I needed a tad more speed on that run but, like you said, the very top ledge is crazy slick so I'm fine with how that one turned out. :)
