Short Adventure Ride

Postby phlat65 » Sun Feb 19, 2006 12:25 pm

A couple of weeks ago, I went out solo and did about 170 miles. about 40 off road, including some single track. I was amazed how far I could get with street rubber. great going except the snow and mud :-D

Wow that looks like fun. Great senery, nothing like it where I live in teh UK. We think its bad if we get 2 inches of snow :)
Went out for a ride this morning, planning a ride out for some frinds later in the year so did the first 30 miles (it took over an hour), mainly on single track lanes, with 4 fords and about 3 miles of off easy road. One of the fords was interesting, it being about 2 foot deep :)

All have to do now is look at the rest of the ride out, probablly about 50-60 miles.
