i am actually playing hookie from work on monday and going up with a friend of mine. he rides a polaris 250 and i have a z400. this is only my second time there but i had a great time there a few weeks ago.
i second the wanting to go with someone experienced though. i found myself turning around a lot as some trails just seem to either dead end or get to only dirtbike width. thank god for reverse.
btw,
russ, i think someone would be crazy to bring a cr 500 there unless there is a lot more open spaces than i saw. i spent a lot of time on trail 4 and went up and down and up and down all on rocks most of the time in 2nd gear too! you must be a better man than i!

If you ever want to hook up and ride , just give me a shout. I will be up there this weekend and probably the weekend after that as well. I have worn out 3 big bore hondas at Tower City and racing . I am on my 4th 500 now. I put at least 9,000 miles on my 89 XT350 at TC. I am new to the 4 wheeler deal. But back in the 80's and 90's it was a group of us guys that always had 500's like John ( the prez)in the office. John and the rest of us were the hillclimbing masters. There are many miles of trails that you can open up your machines. I hurt myself pretty good racing a few years ago and have stopped racing. My best friend and bonzi cr500 owner has stopped going up to ride. And now that my son doesn't go I ride alone alot which is not safe on a speed freak on a cr500. So after riding my wifes scrambler I bought for her, I just had to have one.It is safer and the atv thing is new to me so it is cool. I am always looking for people to ride with. So anytime you need a guide or a new face give me a shout.

How was your ride. I was unable to take off yesterday. It was a good day for riding. I did not make it up over the weekend. A good friend and riding buddy of mine had a heart attack.Spent some time with him. I will be going up this weekend . If you want to go give me a shout.
