Ride Saturday and Sunday

[union]

This is the last legal weekend Ill be able to ride through Franklin. Long range forcast looks good for both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is for sure. Sunday is still a little up in the air and if we do go I might have to leave a little early.

So bring your off road weapon and lets have some fun.

I gotta learn those woods better so that I can take quick loops like that

and how do you properly use a berm? after riding with Ty a few times, I realized that I'm not really using them at all. What usually happens is I brake like crazy before getting there, then just get on the gas expecting the berm to keep me from fishtailing too far.

to others: having been on those trails before, I can definitely say that it feels a lot faster than it looks!

[union]

Its like an extension of the trail or a banked corner. You hit it with a bit of speed and you get pushed into it.

Well did you guys make it out today?

We did ok. Went through the swampy part first. Wasnt too bad. A few deep puddles but nothing horrible. Love those single track trails. Did Beaver pond after which went well. We got through there pretty fast. On the way back I swaped ends on the powerlines at about 30mph. Bent the bars, broke a footpeg, and have a stuck throttle. Made for an interesting ride back. So I have a few more things to do to the bike before the start of next season.

[Awesome]

next season? You mean next weekend?

[mycirus]

Ouch, that sounds like it hurt. Did you have your camera on for that? Glad you are okay. Lots of rocks to land on.
