Anyone rode the ol' East Texas 450 lately? It's been awhile since I've done it, so am looking for a recent track. Thanks.

ET450 tracks?

Cool. Was planning on next weekend, as it's the only weekend I'll have free for awhile.
Will have to keep an eye on the weather, and it might be a last minute decision for me. Still looking for a more recent set of routes/tracks though. Anyone?
Ditto....

I was hoping to get in on this, but found out Wednesday I've got to attend a funeral (one I can't get out of). Rob, did you get your bike running?
Sorry to hear, Jay. Yep, had to clean out the carb, but don't think it was the race gas. Could have sworn that I drained it properly last time I shut it down, but guess not. Found a bunch of gunk so pulled it, cleaned it, put it back. Started first kick!
Would still like to, but weather/life just isn't cooperating right now. David (AdvNewbDW), get some knobbies on that bike; it'll make this ride a lot more fun. Some pretty deep sand in places when dry, or can be really muddy if it's recently rained.
It's funny, I've been looking at 50/50's. Reckon the Pirelli Scorpion Rally will do the trick?

Yeah, those look like they'd be just fine. I'm (tentatively) planning a fast recon of the route this Mon/Tue. If it checks out, I'll try to put something together for a weekend ride soon as weather permits.
That would be awesome. I look forward to hearing about it.

DANG IT! If I hadn't had to use two weeks of PTO for a medical issue a couple of months I would definitely tag along with you on this....
Sure would have enjoyed the company. Like I said though, I'm gonna try to do the three day route in 2, so gonna run it pretty briskly. Hopefully it will be successful so we can have a recent set of tracks.
Just got back from riding the whole thing in the last couple days, and have the new routes ready to go. Trying to figure out how to post them up on the forum:

How do I upload Basecamp routes/lists to share?
As title says, I'd like to share routes from my recent ET500 scouting ride. How do I do this here? Do we have a designated section for routes/tracks sharing?

Next time you run it please post up if you will allow others to tag along.
I would love to ride it again and again.
Thanks

Ok, here goes 
. Attaching routes from the last couple days. Can someone open these in Basecamp, and let me know if they load? I'm using "City Navigator North America NT 2020.1" for my maps, and route is in "dirt biking" for Activity Mode.

Heck, yeah! That's the whole reason I did this. Unfortunately, I shift work, so weekends off only roll around every other month. In fact, the next open weekend for me won't be until Dec. 20th! If anyone is available during week days though, I'll be free again the 2nd - 5th.
