Not really a dual sport ride but I rode a dual sport bike so here goes.
Took the daily commuter out to the local motorcycle park.

Started out real slow on the the flat track area that has a couple
jump on the straight-aways...I wanted to see how the c858's would hold.
The MX track had way too many rocks so I headed down one of the easy
trails...twisting back and forth between the mesquite trees and post oaks...
almost wiped out my mirrors on the first run.
My arm were getting sore from the "death grip" so I took a short cut back
to the parking area for a rest.
The second time through the trails was much easier and I had much more fun.
By the third and fourth times I was getting tired and making some mistakes so I packed up and headed home...
It was not crowded at all and I seldom saw others riders on the trails.
The park was nice, camping (no hookups) but a porta-a-jon and drinking water available.
I found out one thing...
I need more armor and some MX boots.
If I'm gonna make a habit of riding trails I'm gonna need a smaller lighter bike.
