9 days and 14" of rain later, it was time to get some riding in and the weather today couldn't have been and more beter, well maybe a little more warmer
Four of us set out early today for the ride knowing we would see washouts and roads closed everywhere we went... and it started about 1 mile from Seans house where there was a huge ditch across the road.
The roads were a mess everywhere and I'm glad we weren't out on sportbikes in this mess, i'm also glad I put the knobbies back on the KTM for this ride Sean lead us on some pretty cool roads that were a good mix of dirt, smooth paved and bumpy paved. I think the plan was to keep it somewhat mellow as Bob was breaking in a brand new KTM640 adventurer.. cool bike Bob
Bike troubles Sean? haha
Why stop at the finish line?? They're very orange
We did encounter some more washout and rough roads. I'm sure the dirtbike clubs will blame the quad guys for this erosion?
We had a quick lunch at Subway and then talked about where we were going next. Crow Hill Mx was mentioned and Bob wanted to go back. I knew it was closed but we were heading there anyways and it wasn't far from where we were going. We did have a little run in with a ELE. It was some fat guy that musta got picked on when he was a kid because he sure gave us a lecture even though we were 100% legal and legit on the road we were on. He went on to explain had we been on the next road over (he was stuck on it with a flat tire) that we would be arrested and could get upto $50k fine and spend a year in Jail Thanks buddy, have a nice day
We got to Crow Hill and sure enough it was closed. We pulled in and shortly after the owner came by to say hello, it seemed they may have been working on the woods portion of the track??
After Crow Hill, we started to head back south on a simalar route. We stopped at some road and Sean was facinated with some cross dresser that he's seen in the area before, while he's babling on about that I hear Leah say "Mark needs gas"!!! Thank you for reminding me Leah We made it to Barre Center to fill up and man was it close... The bike has a 1.8 gallon gas tank and it took 1.7 gallons of fuel to fill it
After that we made our way back to Sean's house and called it a day, 5 hours of dual sporting is enough I guess
Thanks Sean and Leah for having me over, we didn't even get drunk either (Bob said Leah gets me drunk all the time )
Good ride, good company
