Re: Offroad Riding 6/16 (Sat)
I went with a few kids on big ATV's to give this place a try and did all the orange and part of the pink trails on a little TW200 before calling it quits !! Call me a sissy but that place is the worst rocky riding area I have ever seen , but one broken big toe and a really bad bruised hip later it was fun for a first time off road adventure !!! But my buddies said you couldn't pay them to do that rock garden again .

If you stayed on the orange and pink, it is much worse in other parts. A few years ago I probably would have agreed with you. The more you get into the offroad riding thing the more I encourage you to challenge yourself and soon that insane rock garden that you wouldnt ride through for $1000 becomes a fun challenge and then just a fun obstacle to mix it up on.Gene-TW200 wrote:I went with a few kids on big ATV's to give this place a try and did all the orange and part of the pink trails on a little TW200 before calling it quits !!

It was a great learning ride for the first off road adventure , with only minimal pain involved and no damaged equipment , it was just that ONE rock tomany that got me , now on to Michaux !

You need new buddies...I love rock gardens
However I would have to agree a T-dub would not be my first choice of bikes to ride at the Cove.
Get a copy of the 7-mountains ramble (dual sport loop) and go have a fun day on something the T-dub would be more at home doing.
I had (key word was had) a T-dub, fun scoot for simple dirt roads, if the dirt bug bites you...go buy a proper dirt bike and enjoy riding the bike and not being ridden by the bike.

Yeah...I thought you were ready to ride at Michaux. Practice some gravel road sliding.Gene-TW200 wrote:Michaux next month at the DS ride .
Also it helps to have suspension when riding rocks
I too had a T-dub at one time

I have copies of the maps (available here http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=479515) but does anyone have Garmin GPS routes for the lazy?
