Well the day started like any other, except for the driving all over hell and creation (The Spronx) well before 8:00. But it's all good. Glad I could help...
Hit the trails at 9:00 or so and promptly got side tracked and some might say, lost.
I knew where we were at all times, thanks to my GPS.
Crash Kid had brought the vintage beast out for it's first real trail ride. Nice to see the old machines keeping up with all the newer ones. We even had a CT70 along for this ride as the real bike was still under repair for carb problems from the previous week. We did some trail blazing in grass that was actually taller than the CT70, B_Bozz even disappeared at times. We then came to a ""trail"" that turned out to be a stream. Of course we couldn't cross it so instead of back tracking we decided to go towards the nearest road. It took us over an hour to get farther away from where we wanted to go. I swear the road moved. Along the way, BBozz'z chain came off and while trying to get it back on, his glove got caught and pulled his finger into the sprocket. A small crunch. A few tears were shed but after a hug he was OK. (So I'm told) ((sorry no pix))
We found our way back and hit the real trails, the powerline. This went for miles and we have to get back to see exactly where this goes. Lots of potential. Unfortunately the vintage had some spoke trouble, I guess the spokes are vintage too.
We headed back before more damage was done. Greenrider, Donair and I went up and down this awesome hill climb.
We made in back to the vehicles in one (or two) pieces but 8 started and 8 finished.
A good day.
