I can still do Monday--any time. It's a 90 minute ride for me to get down there. Just let let me know the time and place. D

Joe, I'd like to hear this response as well. Let me tell you this, though: If you accidentally get on a trail you are uncomfortable with then turn around right away. Don't keep going on that trail as it's like to get much worse. I've got family commitments Saturday and Sunday but if you are there on Monday, the 4th, I could come join you. Derek

Brian, I did get out on the trail solo this Sunday morning. The trails weren't too crowded and I found them technical enough to be challenging and not overwhelming until... Got off on some small side-trail and it had some mudholes. Got through the first one but dropped the KLR on the second. After getting it restarted I made the mistake of continuing on that path and it was terrifying--a very technical trail with many mudholes and extremely steep terrain. Definitely not meant for a big bike. Eventually found my way out but not before tweaking my back. Headed home. Regardless, would like to get out with you guys sometime. Definitely not in the mood to go back solo and uninformed about the trails. That was my mistake to not study the maps carefully before setting out. Bike took a little beating but seems to have come out OK minus one rear view mirror.

Thanks for posting the nice video! I'm new-ish with a KLR-650 and have been looking for some trails to ride that aren't too narrow. Would love to ride with you sometime. Going to head down and try out the trails Sunday morning, 6/26.
