    I am down for Friday in the Lytle Creek area or Running Springs area. I am new to this 990 off road so nothing too difficult for the big bike and fat rider.

    Snow slide road has been closed for no to very minor reasons for years, unless it has been opened back up very recently.

    Very cool. Let do this!! Where should we meet.

    I might take the Husa depending on how technical it's going to get. Otherwise I'll ride the 990.

    A buddy sorta invited me (he needs to clear some stuff out for work first) to ride the spangler area either tomorrow or Friday. Good cycling friend but we don't get to ride together very often so...

    Happy to show you around out there on either bike pretty much anytime though. But I haven't been on the 990 since DVNR and it's getting pissy in the garage :D

    Hey Aaron,

    Sorry, can't make it. I'm doing the Penguins ride in SLO tomorrow with Damado. Next weekend I'll be in UT on the 990, pre-running for a 2-up trip in June. :evil

    Up at 0530-check, spare GoPro batteries charged-check, breakfast burritos and coffee-check. Kickstand up at 0700 and hit ignition...( ). Battery completely discharged. 8 hours later, it finally fires up. Unfortunately, this Sunday's ride vanished like a fart in the wind. Maybe next week.:(:

    You missed a good one, nice spring desert weather, good variety of terrain.
    Todd and I did a nice big bike loop around the Husky and Inscription canyon.
    Just under 400 miles for the day:clap
