I trailer..... now that I have my lower gears, It is a bit better on the highway.. but with the spool and all... I really hate wearing out my tires..

I might have to bring some kids along this weekend if I go, there is a neighborhood drama going on... but they are good kids...

It can be a 1-1.5 hour road drive back to the starting point. No problem on the kids, I have 2 myself.

Well,  I never really considered driving it on the road for more than a few miles at a time, since I spooled it and stuck these swampers on it..   I mean, I am sure it is capable, but I just did a driveway eyeball alignment on the camber... I take it apart too much to pay to have someone set it.. LOL....


I don't know...  this thing rides rough as hell when I pump the tires up to 25 lbs for road travel...


Lemme think about it..

are you going anyway?

Well....... once again, I am going to have to pass on Slade..


I am going out to Haspin and ride around in circles for a few hours... see if I can get her stuck.

If anyone is going to Haspin, let me know.

  Hey, Jeff, sounds like DB might get crowded this weekend (Ha Ha).  Ky Krawlers and a couple of other clubs are riding out of the 49er at Livingston Saturday morning!

I preran the first half of the Daniel Boone run and it went great. I started at Slade and went all the way to Livingston using almost all trail and gravel roads. This trip will be a blast for people of all skill level.
Oh, Natural Bridge is still open with no gates or place where gates will be put up anywhere that I saw. I went the entire length of the narrows trail and saw no signs that it had been closed like someone else had mentioned. I ran into a group of about 15 rigs and none of them had seen anything either.
