Just wanted to share a couple pics. It can’t be all about ballast, waves and surf. Every once in a while you need a little dirt, mud and rocks.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...44e32035ab.jpg

looks like a great time in the mountains....
and nice to see you're wearing brain buckets :) last 2 companies I worked at that were located in "helmet optional" states, I was the helmet police....
Oh yeah. Helmets are not optional in our family.! An ounce of prevention... !
Looks like a perfect area for that kind of fun. Where is it? :)
Nice!
Summer time is always a battle for me between going to the lake and riding my bikes.
Wish I wasn't such a wuss and enjoyed riding in the cold, but alas I'm a wuss so the bikes and the boat go up at about the same time lol
I loved riding during the winter. No one out and no dust. My hands are finally starting to heal after getting CT releases done. I’d like to start riding again, but I’m going to start off with mountain bikes, or a Suron electric bike first.
It's a smaller trail near Camp Ripley. It's not too long, maybe 13 miles, buts its closer to my house. If we want a greater challenge we'll drive an extra 30 mins further north to Miller Hills, near the city of Brainerd, Mn. Tons of fun.Quote:

Bikes are like boards. Everyone has their own opinions. You couldn’t get me on a 2-stroke. Hate the smell of them and I find the exhaust note annoying. I prefer guilt thumpers that can tractor climbs for mountain and forest riding. Desert, give me a quiet wide ratio thumper with a 6-speed and lots of fuel.
After my shoulder and hand injuries, I think my desert and single track days are done. I’d be content to put around on fire roads now.
