Sweet vids!!!

Just checked 'em out, I'm REALLY geeked up to hit the trail now! Looks like a blast! I'm headin up Thursday night, staying in Grayling and then heading for the field 1st thing in the morning. Actually, 2nd thing in the morning. Coffee comes 1st,, THEN headin' to the trail.?

I'll be in a red Toyota Tacoma with a XR400. See you guys up there! ?

The leafs get so bad this time of the year I sometime lose the trail, I'm glad I'm not leading this Friday!

Okay, one last time for clarification, the "camping/staging/parking" area is on the ORV route south of Oak Lake Rd., correct?

That's true, but the field is not as far down (west) as the orv route, as soon as you turn off of N Mount Tom rd., Penn ( I'm almost sure there's not a road sign) rd is the road where the field is ( in between N Mount Tom & Oak Lake rd., it's on the corner of those two roads). I'm sure Penn rd. cuts between the two because I remember people warming up there bikes back and fourth on Penn Rd.

This guy (Jeff) is parked right at the opening of Penn rd. and the camera is looking South-West after it pans away from him, the beginning of Penn Rd. is easy to drive right by so keep a eye out as soon as you turn off of n Mount Tom.

Duty calls and I am heading the wrong direction. Have a top level meeting for work that I was unable to blow off. ?

Enjoy the ride, looks like the weather should be pretty good and you will probably see more grouse on the trails than other riders.

Cheers and enjoy ?

Well this sucks - I also have to bail. Enjoy, should be a nice day!! Besides it's not going to be snowing like it was for a thumpertalk ride I went on last year.

Aaaargh! The mighty Ranger took a powder this afternoon and spit out a leaf spring hanger At 221,341 miles it doesn't owe me anything, but still ? Better luck next time?

I'll keep trolling for MI rides and will bring out the Gasser's to sample.

Oh, did I mention? ?

[Xr650rhonda]

Sorry you guys can't make it, Okay, so far there is 11 of us that are camped here in West Branch and I know there is few more guys meeting @ the field , should be a great day for some fall riding, see everyone @ 10:00 a.m..

Out,

Was loading up my bike, felt a little resistance and a ping from the front tire. Got the flashlight out and started looking around for a broken spoke. No broken spoke but the rod that holds my brake pads in slid out and into the front tire. The spokes sheared it off where there is a hole for a pin to hold it in place. Best guess is when I power washed it I blew the retaining pins out of the rod and it found it's way into the front tire. $10 brake part ruins the day. Guess it is better it happened before i got the bike on the truck then up there. Have a good time guys.

Sure Brad, just rub a little more salt in our wounds

[Xr650rhonda]

I want to thank the guys that made the Mio ride this year, I know many had a drive as long as me if not longer and I really appreciate you being there! I think the weather was a little cold at first, but it ended up being a nice day for riding. The video turned out pretty good, I have just a cheap helmet cam and I grabbed some stills from it to post up. Thank you to all that showed up and rode Hunt Creek this year!

Looks like you guys had a good fun and the weather was perfect.Sorry I missed the ride, Mio and Trailfest. It just so happened that Friday and Saturday coincided with an emotional time for both my wife and son. I chose to do the fatherly, husband thing and spend those two days with them. Soooo, I"ll just wait until next year. Hey, there has to be that " Last ride before deer season" somewhere.

Kinda supprised more didnt ride Mio also.

For me I think it's the fact my butt is as big as a man hole cover and my seat on my bike is as big as a 2 by 4, but it was the railroad bed of whoops that was the nail in the coffin!, your remember you lead me there.?
