if the big ktm's and bmw's are leaving you, you need to be getting on some tougher trails.  if i was closer, we could find some trails where we could leave the big bikes in the dust on our klr's. 

klr's rule, especially considering the coin saved on them versus the big european bikes.

When you want to start on Saturday? Got anywhere in particular you'd like to go?  I wouldn't mind going south to check out some of the Jasper burn area, but I'm up for anything.

sunday is great for me, Jasper sounds good or we could try and fill in Cannons missing grand canyon segment, or both!

Saturday: Looks like it's just you and me, Tony.  11am at Stonewalls. Cool with you?

Sunday: Josh (sportfaller) wants to ride, but I can't break away 'til around 1pm. Tony, you (and anyone else) are welcome to join, or the two of you could get out earlier if you want and I can meet you somewhere on the trail....

Stonewalls tomorow @ 11, I'll be there. It looks like my Sunday may be full of tree thinning and firewood chopping.

SO...me & caseyjones had a very slippery adventure today.  All the mud made the ride quite interseting.  :evil

If it rains tonight, I don't think it'll be worth our time to try and ride tomorrow....if it doesn't rain, the trails will probably be better than today.

We'll have to see what happens in the morning.

It got nice and wet here in New Underwood last night to, I bet that it rained most everywhere else. Its probably good for pavement and gravel but the nasty nasty mud is a real beeeotch and probably worse than yesterday.

Have a good ride if you do go somewhere.
