From Thursday until Saturday I logged 122 miles on my bike. Thursday 56 miles every trail, both directions, twice(wet and scary). Then Friday 28 miles, followed by Saturday 28 miles. It is a challenge to ride all of it, I see bikes out there more and more, anyone else ride?
 
Show off :lol: Managed 2 45 min motos of 1st and second gear stuff mid week after work and a full sloppy hour and a half at NCMP then a 30 min moto on the track yesterday. I need to come back down and run UDub sometime but I swear every time I go there something stupid breaks.
 
I hear you guys, I've been broken a few times, I just can't stay away. Torn MCL, complete shoulder reconstruction, and just about tore my thumb off my hand last year in a wreck. I will say at 46 I'm probably in the best shape I've been since I was 25 due to the amount of riding I do. I'll trade an injury every now and then for the overall benefit. I wish I could be satisfied with cross fit or the gym, but if the exercise doesn't have some action and adrenaline involved it just doesn't hold my attention.

Let me know when you head up to NCMP to ride some trails again. I haven't been on the dirt bike in 2 months now almost.

Will do. I wanna hear that little 1fiddy singin. They lost a huge chunk of woods to logging, so right now there isn't really a good complete loop without going over some of your own tracks. They're gonna work on changing that once they get through the Lorettas qualifier that is this weekend.

Yeah, we went and rode the trails there a few months back, sucks to see some of my favorite parts gone. Still the best trails that are near us.

They have said they are going to work on the trails for a 6-9 months now though, hopefully they actually get on it now. They were going to be ready for the new year, then spring, then who knows when.

Come with me this wknd and we'll do 100+ in a day, again.
 
Wow, very impressive. I'm sore after a weekend in a JK, let alone on a bike. What do you ride and have any pictures of it on the trail?
 
Haven't been on my bike for about 4 years. Last time I rode, I split my helmet in half. Darn worthless thing...would still be good helmet if I didn't wear it that day.

Was riding pretty fast downslope in a narrow rut/trail. Crank caught the edge, and I got slammed down. 25 to 0 in 4 feet. There was only one rock in the field, and my head got it. Yes, I saw stars. And Jesus.
 
Not bad for a day in the dirt
