Ride Report. The goal was to keep it short, slow down the guy in front (ME !!), and be back by noon.
Well.... The ride was kept short, I haven,t figured it out yet but I am thinking we kept the ride to about 80 miles. I will check when I get back to Texas.
But we didn't make it back until 2:30. We did have about 3 hours in delays, and we had a re-route that took a bit of time to figure out...but it was fun doing it.
Dan went down in a very large rut....steve called it a "canyon" ... anyway he broke a collar bone, and cracked a rib. He is having the bone replaced with a rod and plate...plus the doctor told him to quit smoking... He told the doctor...I want to be back on the bike in 8 weeks...as far as the smoking he said..."baby steps".
Otherwise he is in good spirits and doing well. Paul, we are sorry you hit that rock in the rut. I am glad you are alright and hope you will be back. If you need help fixing the bike or transporting it anywhere, let me know I have a trailer. And your right Armour is a good thing.
This Southern Bonham run is a challenge.. REALLY IT IS.. It has beaten us twice, 3 times if you count the first ride which was to incorporate this route. West Texas was much easier and the roads were better. Next month will be a West Texas Ride. Right now we need good roads and easy... plus west texas is better during cooler weather because there are not as many trees. This routes showed that there are at least 3 water crossings, depending on the water level, but it needs to be balanced with the rain because the surface dirt will be treacherous. I will rank this has a hard route to take. If you did well in this ride, then Colorado (with all of the ruts we encountered there) should be no problem for you. Thank you all for coming and supporting the North Texas Dual Sport guys. Also, Thanks to the guys from Marshal for showing up. They did great riding. We hope you guys found a tire place and made it home. Hope to see you all next month. Check the upcoming ride section for next months ride. I will post it shortly... Also if you took photos, please post them here.
