Re: Midweek Emmitsburg, 8/31
A really nice day on the bikes. Hard to find issue with good weather, good company, good trails and a day off work. The dirt was a bit dry but fortunately not dusty. I had a lot of fun. My 2 fenders and brake pedal maybe not so much. And, I took my first ride on an e-dirt bike. Pretty cool actually. Much cooler than I had envisioned thinking no clutch would be a big issue...which it wasn't once I quit pulling the rear brake lever in search of the clutch and stopped mashing the air where I expected a brake pedal Thanks to Stephen and his E-XC for the first joy ride.

This is a cool picture and a gnarly little spot coming out of a decent bit of water into a step formed from a jagged cluster of rocks. Larger and tougher than appreciable by photo.

GREAT day of riding. It was dry and a bit dusty in places. So dry we all rode a line up the creek I don't think any of us have tried before. The battery I had in my KTM-E was getting low and went into red/limp mode about half way up. Enough power to get back to the van and swap it but the reduced power makes climbing rocks a bit crappy so I hopped out mid-creek and spotted for the other guys and took some pics. I have multiple batts now and didn't charge them since we rode at Mountain Ridge last weekend. I still had about 1/2 charge(?) on them so figured that would 'be enough'. The KTM batts don't have a bar graph or anything on them so its hard to know how charged they are w/o plugging into the bike (which only has a crappy bargraph IMO.) One of the things they could improve... Anyway, here are my pics.
Bucho coming up a dry spot lower in the creek HuskyMatt, RickyBobby, and MotoMofo all coming up that same step Bucho showed in his post. Its bigger than it looks and has a rock that wants to catch the bottom of the right fork. Hopefully these pics show its takes some level of 'send' to get up it. Dave coming up a hill (and you can see some dust)
