    I saw this hill climb opportunity today while out roaming through a state forest on a 200 mile loop and had to take advantage of it.

    See the T7 up there on top? A couple more pics below for perspective, although the last one looking down loses all depth perception.

    The T7 is just a tractor, and strolled right up to the top where I took a water break. The surface was loose rock/shale, soft from yesterday's torrential rain, and I really expected to be dealing with some wheel spin but the (well worn, with 3,200 miles on them now) AX41 tires continue to impress including while crossing at an angle during the descent.

    At another stop:

    Good ride in the Rio Puerco this morning. Warm already :dirtdog but still good conditions from the rain even though the mud is all gone

    Thought @KL_ARRR water crossing picture was pretty awesome. So decided to head out this morning and grab the same sort of shot. Although his crossing looks a tad bit deeper :yikes

    Your photo is great @HooliganR6! It was definitely deeper than I was expecting, and I lose style points for dabbing on the exit of the creek!

    A beautiful day riding with my cousin on a chunk of the MABDR through several PA state forests.

    It was taken on MABDR section 7, at the first/highest overlook in Bald Eagle State Forest before the expert section descent to Poe Paddy State Park.

    On the way back down she started to rattle a bit - thought it was just the cluster bobble, but it turned out to be the top triple nut backing almost all the way out. Check those nuts fellas.
