Sure would be nice to fill in one of these nice days when the roads aren't all dusty with a nice DS ride.
Could probably even be a weekday since quite a few of us are doing shift work or no work :>)

I am up for it. I have refined and expanded my routes. It is still snowing out here almost every day.BigBird wrote:Sure would be nice to fill in one of these nice days when the roads aren't all dusty with a nice DS ride.

It is at least a week before I see a break in the forecast. Undoubtedly, it will take some time for the snow to melt or pack down enough to ride. But I am suffering extreme cabin fever. I am ready to get out!
Let me know days/dates which interest you.
I watched this recently, and I am inspired.

Would this be a ride for knobbies or 50/50 tires? I'd love to join you either way if I can.
Thanks,
Patrick

I do it on 50/50's. The focus will be on dirt and gravel. The pavement will be a necessary evil, but it will be used to get to the next dirt section.phoo wrote:Would this be a ride for knobbies or 50/50 tires? I'd love to join you either way if I can.

FWIW-we have done it on supermotos also. It is more challenging with fat smooth street tires, but it is doable.

I know the feeling haven't had a bike out for months every chance I get there is snow. I cant even ride to work now If I drive my truck I get gas money ride the bike no money.
A weekend would be best for me but I can get a weekday off with a little notice.
