Missouri 2013 Swinging Bridges Ride **May 4-5***

Last year's pictures were slim pickin's for this year's sticker......now I have to get creative......dammit.....

Hey I see proof that there was at least 100ft of single track in '12.
You back home BigDog? We need to hook up and ride. BTW Found some new good stuff for the "around Red Bud loop".

Yep----I'm back---my buddy had an injury that cut the Baja trip way short.

I'm ready to ride------maybe warm up in a few days.

I went thru there, I think some folks also picked a nail or two there.

Tami and I caught up with some folks on BMW's, I think they were Beemers but I didnt look close, who were looking to route around this, I said hang on let me look first.... Hey we can get thru that lets go!!!

LOL I didnt get my camera out soon enough to catch everyone coming thru.

I've had my hesitations Rory but I got a room.

I've never claimed to be a great mc rider but being off one for over a year and a half has made me feel like a total FNG......especially after putting almost 3000 miles on a sub 30 lb mtn bike since then......I will need to get what speed I had back between now and May......... I hope.

Have we heard from any of the other animals? Would like to ride with you guys again.

And another thing. This thread is starting to get boring. If you guys can't start slinging a little poo, I'm going to start making things up.

See if you can guess whom I am now;

"I'm wet, it's cold, the gravel sucks and I'm not having any fun any more. Can we go home?"

Not with me it isn't.

Toon, add Jack to the animal list. He's young and healthy, good help for picking up my bike and caring my extra smokes.

Yea, making crap up is not beneath me, as long as it's believable.

Hey----your riding a WR250R this year----you won't have that big 400 or 450 slowing you down.
You'll be able to go anywhere !!!

BigDog

Don't worry Gary it's just like riding a bicycle

Almost!

I guess I should quit trying to pedal the darn thing......

OK, will add some excitement to this thread. Check out some vide from Co last year. I was chasing ProDirtDale on the Quakey Trail near Sargents. Raw and somewhat long, hope you enjoy.

We can all use some of that lifting help! But he has to sleep with YOU!

Nice Ride video Bill!

Hmmm.. You guys should ride that dirt while its frozen. It's not as fun when it's thawed a bit. ;-)

Now talk about boring.. You guys make Colorado look boring going that slow!!
Holy Crap! I saw 4,278 places where I would have crashed, in the first 4 minutes!

Ok here is some slower stuff

Bloody hell, that is some bitchin' riding, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! I keep picturing what I'd do on my KLR picking through those rocks...
