yep- 40 minutes of riding to 30 minutes of talking! That's why I try not to shut the motor off when he does- or stop unless I really have to when riding with him! Great guy- but shhhhh!

 

I am definitely in for Sunday at 10:00.

I don't know where Troyboy lives (but I look forward to meeting him), so I'll plan to be at Beergut's by 9:45.

Can't wait. See you then. Pray for good weather....

 

looks sunny in the 50's on sunday

 

Where abouts are you Troyboy? I've ridden in Thompson before and it was great. I'd definately be interested in Sunday. I'm in Oxford. I could probably get there by trail, but I've never gone that way. Shoot me a message when you have a chance.

Hi Todd,just sent you an email with my #,you can park at my house and we'll hit the trails to meet up with Beergut and Wilson,,,come on Sunday !

 

Hey Mike,looks like where gonna have a gang!!! kewl mang.

 

I had a little time this afternoon so I parked at Beergut's house and went riding. I crossed the pond and then when I started to cross the river I almost ran over this:!




Luckily I saw it just in time and avoided it. When I got to the spiky section of power lines, I got off and walked it first. I found a couple of freshly buried spikes (these were rusty steel this time, not aluminum).
I decided I would just avoid that part of the trail and I stayed to the far left of the power lines. Well I made it to the top of the hill again only to look down and find two of these in my front tire:



Thanks to Mr. Spiky, I now have about 11 plugs in my almost new tires.

I did not call the PD or anything, nor did I remove any spikes (except the ones sticking out of my tires), so use caution!

where is this- what pond is this?
There are no ponds on his property- that looks like its been there for quite some time...

Was this the 3' deep water on the grid near his house, or in the trails behind my house?

There's a trail that'll take you to a pit, and leads to south street. Then you can hit the pavement for about 2000' and pick up the grid again- avoid all that crap.

 

mr spiky got a few of his own spikes 2 nights ago I was told.
There are a lot of kids who ride at the pit who want their revenge-

 

This was at the river crossing - left past the pond and about halfway to the power lines is the river you cross - the disc brake with the spikes was set right at the edge like a trap.

I'd like to learn that alternate route and avoid this whole bad scene.

I take it if you don't go left past the pond and keep going straight - leads to the pit?
