    Hmm... baby is scheduled for eviction from the wife on wednesday. I don't think she will be giving me the nod of approval for this Saturday. Have fun!

    Cheers! :beer

    It was a great day for a ride! And the food was great too, I had a great Reuben at the mushroom in Mesick :dg. I ended up having an unscheduled off on my way home, now my shoulder is a little sore... I love dirt biking:evil

    I even got to ride a sweet KTM :D I am going to have to get one.:lol3

    Wednesday or Thursday work good for me, I am taking my Jetta up to TC for a new windshield tomorrow Morning at 1030.

    Speaking of my Jetta... Clebner, were you out riding this afternoon? I was coming back from the LA General and seen an XR600 riding behind me as I was turning onto my road. I was in the Jetta.

    Burnt mill is a fun rd, I like to take it down to that little bridge, go across the bridge and then up an to the left is a little seasonal rd, take that back over to reynolds, nice little loop.

    Wheres Peanut lake?

    Fine with me, I will be coming from the other side, over by Acme. I don't know the trails over that way so it will have to be up to you guys to show me the way.

    What kind of riding are we going for? Two track and bigger or single?

    I know the trails well around here. Trails around here will be mostly 2track no single track with a few pavement sections. We can customize a loop to our time frame. Wednesday or Thursday are both good by me.

    Sounds good.

    Kent, you set the time since you have the further commute and you have to work.

    My only limitation is that I have to show up for work at 3p but I can change my clothes there after I get there. I work right by the college.

    How long do we want to / able to ride? I am done after 3-4 hrs if ride time.

    It's about 30 - 40 min from my house to lake Ann I think.
