Alright, I saw the problem. He is on a that little bike he bought and needs to go back to the KLR!

Yeah, but it looks big when I stand next to it, I thought you had a PW50 in that video!

pringlecan · 05-30-2010, 07:07 PM

hell, i look big standing next to you...

me and my pee wee 50 will run circles around you and your mailorder-oil husqvarna any day.

did you end up buying a new helmet? i'm curious as to what you decided on. maybe i missed it in an earlier post.

HoosierTrailmaster · 05-30-2010, 07:43 PM

Alot of smack going down here...maybe a little enduro race between you two would settle things.

No, not yet. I have to pay for this trip out of pocket first, no GTC.
I want the RF1100 but the RF1000 is for sale ~$300.
I also want some Held Airstream gloves, it takes about 10 minutes before my current gloves are soaked, even quicker with the humidity here. The Germans really don't understand what summer is (BMW prosummer gloves are a joke in a climate like this).

HTM, if you know where there is a good endurocross course, I am sure PC and I can both go to the ER trying to show the other up...

Saw a clip at cyclegear today of guys trying endurocross for the first time. One guy tore an ACL; all of them wrecked, so the instructor used their bikes for traction in the rock pit...

Cathy and I got out of town on Friday to head up north and get out of the heat. She's learning that north/high elevation is good this time of year.

Wilcox heading east to Safford and up 191 (666)

I never get tired of this road, turn then turn and turn some more

We got to Alpine and the temp was about 55º, then gravel/dirt to Big Lake and the more turns out to Eagar. If you haven't been on the road from Eagar to Big Lake you should make it a destination, no better turns that I've found.

Got to Pinetop/Lakeside for the evening and out of riding gear.

Next day we headed over to Sunrise ski area, then gravel/dirt to Reservation Lake and over to Fort Apache about 100 miles

Wrong turn Cathy, I finally got in front of her

9200 ft it was about 45º at 9. We had nice heated clothes

I think she likes the 800

Two days 600 miles and we're back home Saturday afternoon. Cathy says Aaron and Allyn want to ride tomorrow, 9:00 so don't get too comfortable, so much for newly weds and sleeping in. Post 2 next........

Armacham · 05-30-2010, 10:11 PM

Sweet, Becky and I will be doing that route in June

rpage11 · 05-30-2010, 10:41 PM

Good day riding, had to pull Cathy out of bed, she kept mumbling something about sleep, but I kept telling her she promised to meet Aaron and Allyn at 9:00.

Here's the gang about ready to ride. Pringle hasn't ridden Reddington too much so let's see if we can show him some new stuff.
Allyn took a few weeks off to rest up and heal, but I think it got him out of his game. Sorry brother but you were a little off line today and I hate to call you on it, but I'll let the pictures tell the story.

See the big rocks in the center of the picture. These you need to steer around. Left or right it doesn't matter, just go around them.

Here's Pringle

Around the big rock and out.

Now Cathy

And now it's Allyn's turn

Gotta post before I loose this, I'll come back and edit or add

pringlecan · 05-30-2010, 11:01 PM

oh man i can see where this is going... poor Allyn

rpage11 · 05-30-2010, 11:10 PM

Allyn so far so good, but wait ....

Hold on to your hat, I'm coming down

Whooo, that was close

Okay time for a little brake and then back to some more single track.

I'm glad we got the single track out of the way first. After the ride onto the lower Chiva loop everyone could barely walk.

Cathy's little climb

Pringle coming through

Allyn your turn

Oh no hold on

Now this is where Becky would say something like, "Come on Zeb, get up little guy, I know you can do it, please, I need you now." But Allyn can only say one thing.
"You got a gun, I need to put this animal out, he ain't running the Belmont this year", then, "can you help me out of here".

The rock garden, Allyn you rocked on this. I was thinking if you are out front you move through pretty smooth

Cathy's turn at the rock pile

Here you go Pingle watermelon rocks

Okay last big climb out. Series of stair steps with 90º turns to take any forward movement away, nothing to it, just keep moving.

Okay Allyn you're back on you game.

rpage11 · 05-30-2010, 11:29 PM

Yea that easy

Okay Allyn you're back on your game.

My friends will stop and help.

Pringle??????

Okay Cathy will give me a hand, I know I can count on her

That's it,....... Pringle and I got down to help Allyn get started and he was in good sprites. I was too tired to take any more pictures. Allyn, I can't remember laughing so hard when you said, sorry Bob, I don't think Skip's coming back down to help you out this time. Good ride guys, I had a blast. Allyn, didn't mean to call you out, it just happened that way this time and I'm sure you'll get me back for this. Skip

You'll love it, I have to get you the Big Lake / Eager loop.

HoosierTrailmaster · 05-31-2010, 05:17 AM

You didn't call me out, I just had a rough day and let's face it, every time
I went down, there you were with a camera.
