Hey, I've seen TWs at the Shade Mountain Pa dualsport. So if they can do that terrain on a TW you certainly can do it at Michaux....but you won't set any records :cheers:

you'll be fine with a TW. Just take your time and have fun. If you are not a moderate to advanced rider, you might want to skip options.

Options?? I've done the worst that place has for a ATV so this little DS is gonna be a whole new way to experience Michaux !! Might need to avoid the nasty rock fields this time and the rock trail across the top of the one ridge ! How does this group meet up at events ? I'm really looking to use this as a watch and learn even to see how seasoned riders do it .

Hey!! That guy looks awful familiar! I'm looking forward to this ride! The TDub will do fine, it should be a blast on these trails!

That is exactly the section I was thinking of. That is a bit sporty for the TW. I mean you could do it and the bike would make it, but it wouldn't be too much fun!
