Two days of rain over weekend and family functions drove me nuts. Withdrawal. Called up a buddy and we headed up to Dusty Trails today. Rain made trails absolutely perfect. No dust, good traction everything working perfectly. Suspension just ate up everything thrown at it. Nobody else on trails. I believe I have never ridden so fast before. 4th and 5th were norm and she was singing! I was in the zone all day my buddy couldn't believe it. It was effortless to leave. I don't have many pics but if you have ever been on a ride like that you know exactly what I am talking about. We are going again thursday. All are invited for time of your life!

Is that sand? Traction looks awesome! Is it getting cold up there yet?

Yes almost all sand trails even in woods. Was 60 deg today. Perfect with just a jersey.

Hitting it hard since these trails close Nov 1st till snow. Once it snows well I would rather be Snowmobiling! Maybe spring if you can't make it by then.

I really need to get out and ride more, I still need to get to the Badlands and hook-up with Gary. Seem like SOMETHING always comes up.

I know exactly what you mean Steve! Those kind of rides are euphoric! I'm glad to hear that someone is experiencing those lately. What is your suspension set up?

Speed Ohlins/Fox bottles, Revalved copy of blaze spring with crossover for tuning. Rear is ZPS TCS Ohlins revalved by me and alot of trial and error tuning. Very happy right now. Have been talked into Axis +1 Longtravel front and will be trying that soon but I can't see it being much better than what I have now.
