Fun video. Looks slippery. 

Yes, Rutted 4X4 tracks fill with water & smegma can be a pain at times and the rocks in the streams also. We had much fun riding two days and enjoying Marietta at night for food and drink.

Forgot this one from WV and east Ohio. We overnight-ed in Marietta to get a fresh start on a 160 mile advance level route that winded it's way just inside West Virginia.

Next day we jumped on another route back into Ohio and split up just east of Woodsfield and went our ways home.

Video, dirt starts at 3:50

Let's here it for the two new 2020 Adventure Riders on the O.R. Forum.👍😎

Lot's of great riding in this area. maybe we can do a first annual O.R. Epic Dirty Ride this year.

Is the tire changer sold. I have a friend that may be interested. Thanks
