Great Ride.....I mean swim.......

[Sapling-Thrasher]

Well we finally got out for a good ride on Saturday..... We had high hopes the dust would be down from the rain......

Yep.... still dusty....

Ahhhhh Fordy......so proud....... Please pass the pledge.....

Headed out for some trail that hardly anyone rides..... had to hit the middle fork for a couple of miles of warm up on the way......

Wow!! The river really got tore up last winter! I swear half of the river is on the trail in the form of huge round boulders!!

This use to be a great swimming hole.......

Here comes Graveler with Fordman in tow....

That is when......Graveler decides to try out the swimming hole.....with his bike.....

Fordman 100% called this when we left the truck and I was ready with the camera......seems he has a habit of this.....

Yes he went all the way in!!!

Drying out...... Luckly the air box didn't take water!! Fired back up once the muffler was empty.....

More to come.....This was only the first 5 miles......

nice post

 

[graveler]

I must say that was the luckest shot ever.....nice job....but next time dont leave your bike unattended, we started to think a bear got you!!!!! good thing the camera.....has a good lens.....by the way why were you behind the tree.....???

 

[Fordman]

That's it!!???

 

[Sapling-Thrasher]

That's it!!???

Patience......your turn will come......

You're like a 3 year old.... Maybe I should have taken you with me yesterday to the zoo so you could visit your relatives.....

 

[graveler]

That's it!!???

Dont worry we had the camera on you a lot, so there was no need for you to cry "Take my picture" cause we were all over it........LMAO

like here!!!! a simple switch back you spent 15 mins crashing,

but then we start to wonder if you remember which end of the bike you ride!!!!

Then I yelled trust me its not the bike..........

The single track was riding was definitely a single track for sure in a couple of areas and once again Fordy begs us the take his picture......But this time we had to hike down for the shot!!!! seems the hill was little steep......

Fordys making another attempt

Fail!!!!!

By now I am enjoying every min.....

getting closer!!!!!

Fordy finally makes it...

more to come......

 

[off road rider]

Teanaway?? man those orange bikes look like they need to get ridden a bit more..they look garage queen clean

 

[Fordman]

All looks like flat ground to me...

 

[SanchezSucio]

By now I am enjoying every min.....

To me it looks like Fordy needs to step outside the gym every once and a while to ride his bike…

 

[diamonddave]

Now I see why you guys like the easy button. Cool pics

 

[Sapling-Thrasher]

This is what Gravy spent most of his time doing while we waited for Fordy.....

Picking huckleberries......

Quick view from up top..... Hmmm some of that looks familiar....

Here is Graveler looking for Fordman's huckleberries.....

So if you are looking for a trail to ruin people on it is this one......Especially if you go east/up!!!

It is more of a slalam course than switch backs.....

Uno payaso

Dos payaso

Trail???.....it's there somewhere....

more on the way...

 

[Sapling-Thrasher]

A bit of a rock garden

Gravy

Fordy....grabbing some style with the one footer.....then the no footer....

Paparazzi!

More familiar stuff.....

Still more....

 

[Sapling-Thrasher]

Fordy was begging for more so he stopped for a refill at the local......store....

I just relieved myself on top of this hill.........

Graveler is down there somewhere.......

Then came the intermission.......for Gravy and I.....

Gravy is such a camera hog......always in the way......

Again.....

and again....

and once again.....

 

[Sapling-Thrasher]

And for the final...... We almost ran out of gas..... Made a deviation of our original route and proceeded straight for the truck.....

Yes.....they ate some dust.......

Uno payaso

Dos payaso

Good times!! Will be doing it again this weekend in Gifford!!!

And the fordy's pledge wagon needs a reshine before his next annual ride.......

Before

After

 

[Sapling-Thrasher]

All looks like flat ground to me...

Yep.....really flat.....

I sure heard alot of huffing and puffing for a guy that spends most of his time at the gym......

 

[SkiDoobyDoo]

I'm SO jealous. I loved "my" KTM 250 EXC.
Then buddy sold it without even asking me. I cried.



I guess he actually owned the bike, but still...

[Fordman]

Rest assured, the bike is back to being spotless and a full can of pledge.

 

[Snowbyrd]

Rest assured, the bike is back to being spotless and a full can of pledge.

New Plastics all around?
It looked like some real abuse that wouldn't just buff out

LOL, love the graveler snorkeling pic....did you see any little fish in that puddle?

 

[graveler]

Rest assured, the bike is back to being spotless and a full can of pledge.

only one can? your slipping...

here are a few parting shots of the day.......lol

you can tell how the last 20 mins went....smile for the camera......

bit thirsty???

sap is enjoying poor fordy's luck at being the 6th and final guy up that hill!!!!

his only issue of the day is he needs to invest in new Knee pads!!!!!

 

[Snowbyrd]

his only issue of the day is he needs to invest in new Knee pads!!!!!

Anyone want to guess why his knees look like he spent the day on them?
