Dirt Road Ride (Watershed and Michaux)

[Bucho]

I had a great ride today. I didn't post the ride, it was put together at the last minute.
Wingfixer and I met up w/ Max in Frederick for a dualsport day. With Max leading on his big GS, we set off to the Frederick Watershed. I've ridden there alot, and I've never seen the Watershed dirtroads so rough.
I stopped at one of the washouts and took a few pics.
Here is Wingfixer on the DRZ



And Max on the big BMW

And then we made out way up North into PA and headed into the Michaux.

There were some nice views.

We found a section w/ a good bit of snow. I'm not sure what is up w/ this pickup truck. It doesn't seem to be parked, got stuck in the snow and abandoned? Anyway, we were able to get around it.


Look at snowy roost!!!



Here is some video. Sorry, I should probably edit this, but I don't know how.

We took a short break at this little lake. I still don't know where this is, I'll let one of the other guys give a little more info on it. I was just along for the ride.






These are really some nice and fun (easy), dirt roads. Our next DAMN DS ride should come up through here.

On our way back we hit the last section of the Frederick Watershed we missed on our way up.
I stopped and took a video.

Here is Wingfixer.



And here we have MightyMax. He led a good ride all day, made it through some tough snow and muddy sections, but here he had a little misstep...

LMAO. I've gone through this creek so many freakin times no problem...today there is a camera on me...BAM!

Another foot to the right I would have kissed the tree.

Great ride with Bucho and Wingfixer. Picture perfect weather and overall the roads were in good shape with a few sloppy areas here and there.

We rode for a good 5 hours with the plan to do the watershed crossing to cap the ride.

Well, we see how that ended for me.



About 500 feet or so before the crossing I thought the bike felt a little wobbly. After my failed crossing Bucho and Wingfixer helped me pull the fat GS out of the weeds only to noticed my rear tire was flat. I now suspect I tried to cross the creek with a flat.

There was rock embedded into the tread of the TKC.




Tried a plug but the hole was too big. Fortunately we were close to where Bucho lived so he drove and got his truck. Thanks for the lift Bucho, I'd probably still be there if it weren't for you.
