Not sure where, maybe west of Corn Pass, maybe between Bull Run and West Mount Hood.

I don't have road worthy knobbies and will most likely be on Distanzias so the ride won't be too serious.

I'd like to ride with Lee650 so maybe this ride will change to "mount the knobbies, dirt-only ride"

Please post even if you only have ride suggestions!

Scratch the knobbies idea.

Gotta get new dirt wheels....

MCA8690 · 11-12-2008, 09:50 PM

....what, you got a flat or something? how goes the heated grips saga?

Silver788 · 11-12-2008, 10:53 PM

Man we should ride Barlow trail before the snow comes.

CBRinPDX · 11-13-2008, 12:50 AM

I'm down to ride if it's do-able on Distanzias.

Silver788 · 11-13-2008, 08:54 AM

Might be a little slick for you in the mud but not too bad.

StankDRZ · 11-13-2008, 11:35 AM

Gravel with the slick tires isn't bad, you just gotta man-handle the front end and turn the bike a lot with the rear tire. (BRAP BRAP)

You'll be going slower than you would be with knobbies but its still a ton of fun.

I don't mind a gravel road but I'll probably stay outta the mud..

Its not like a mud trail there is just going to be some no matter where you go. Barlow trail road is really fun. Seeing as your the guy calling the shots on this one. what did you have in mind? I have done this ride with a few guys on ADVriders with your tires during the summer.

It is the time of year you should put on knobbs anyway if your gonna be off road

Hey George, make sure you don't leave old Mike in the dust. He is just getting into the off road thing. The last time he was off road was not by choice and he got there by air.

You pick up an duel sport yet mark?

Silver788 · 11-15-2008, 02:50 PM

So is this still maybe gonna happen?

CBRinPDX · 11-15-2008, 06:24 PM

I just did 8 hours today............

But we can tool around some tomorrow. I'm thinking Larch Mountain area.
I gotta show a rental house right by the Polar King @ 11. Wanna meet up right after that?

Deerhunter · 11-16-2008, 05:26 AM

This is sounding like close-in off road? I've got an old KX125 that needs to get the motor broken in. Went up to Klickitat yesterday so will have to check the honey-do list but, keep us posted if you don't mind.

CBRinPDX · 11-16-2008, 03:53 PM

Sorry, hunter, I did not check the forum this morning. I didn't get off-road too much. Mostly rollin' around Larch Mountain looking for dirt roads & trails.

Found some!

I ended up going solo since someone else had to work...
