Awesome that is the best way to sum it up !!
I had a riot !! I saw a KLR up on the levie when I was fixing a flat but no other dual sports. I rode 4 miles from my house paid 12 bucks and went riding !!!
It was so much fun. I saw a sign on the course saying 8 miles I am not for sure if there were any after that. A guy I talked too thought the course was 8 or 10 miles. I started at the end because that is where I ran ino the course 1st. They took old tires and layed them out in the spillway below the levie. It was completely flat except for a couple 4-5 foot deep ditches that they made jumps for or you you could go through. The jumps were awesome. Flat high speed take offs and the gap was only 8-10 foot. The cool part was it being flat atleast 50 yards before and 50 yards after sometimes even more. Now it was flat but not smooth. There were some nice 1 foot square trenches I am guessing trucks made in the mud. I opened the ole ATK up in 2nd and 3rd and let that rear tire hammer across and the front just hang. WOW was it fun. I would guess there was about 2-3 miles out in the open levie area then the rest was back in the trees. The woods section was A number 1. They had one bad down hill and 1 creek that you had to be careful on,especially with my 606,s they didnt like that slick black mud at the creek. There were probably 2 more water crossing and 1 or 2 more mud holes. All of these were either managable or drying out quick. I think there was one set of trees that my non cut Pro-Tapers made me think about the 1st lap but the 2nd lap I didnt even hesitate. Most of the woods just flowed.
I wish some more of you would have made it. The fast guys I just waved by and they waved a Thank You back as they flew by. The rest, we just had fun following each other taking turns passing and being passed...
I think I put on 47 miles is all
Ok now to get the cloths ready for the dual sport ride out of Plano tomorrow..
