Where did you ride in MS today?

no , it's azzhole right now ... J/K

The guy I kennel my dogs with trains Belgian Malinois for police work. Fine dogs for sure, but I would not want to be on the receiving end of a bite from one:eek1

Glad you're mostly in one piece.

It's been a while since I've been able to get out of the house and go for a ride, so this morning I decided to go. I forgot how great it is! I left about 7, got some breakfast at the Waffle House and headed south down the Trace. It was beautiful! Cool, fresh air, beautiful fall colors. I took a side trip on Midway Rd. just north of Rocky Springs. Midway to Hickory Ridge to Ben Richey Rd. It was a great little ride this morning!

To THE POPE, very nice pics. Wish I had those cool pics in my album, to remember!

agreed. I'd like yonder that area from the saddle too.

We went to Bethel ATV Trails, yesterday. It has a 5$ fee per rider. Trails are split into 2 trails, North and South. Each trail is approx. 20 miles, give or take a mile. Both trails are one way. The North trail is built for 4 wheeelers and motorcycles. It is the newest of the two trails, and tighter. More motorcycles on this trail. The South trail is also built for 4 wheelers and motorcycles. This trail is more 4 wheeler freindly. Its not as tight, but more sandy, which can be tricky, when not paying attention. The South trail is a good warm up for any rider. Each loop took us 2 to 2 1/2 hours. It was slow but it was my son's first real seat time on the XR80.
It was a great day of ridin. There were many riders. Many KTM 250's, CR 250's, and 2 XT225 Dual Sports, a few 4 wheelers, not enough to mention.
There also is Bethel Motorcycle Trail, which we did not ride, but was told by many it was very tight, and single trac. Not the ride for the leisure rider.
Here are a few pics:

This was taken after finishing the North loop, 19.4 miles.


At the beginning of the South trail, half a mile in, stopped for a RR break.

Completely confident on the XR80, my son asked to scout ahead. While I stretched a bit. Go ahead, I said.
Miss judged this rut! My scout was leading, and didn't notice. I played catch up, for awhile.


Here is the biggest water crossing on both trails. We stopped and looked it over first. It was heavy brush on either side, and very soppy wet. Decided straight down the middle was the best way. I had already came through, had to prove it could be done, first.


Here we can see the dirt road leading to the Trailhead. But, the trail wound around for another mile, or so.

40 miles of trails, and my son says he enjoyed the whole day. Mission accomplished. I enjoyed the day as well.

Very cool stuff eeore! Looks like a good time was had by all. He's gonna want to ride your bike before you know it

Thanks! By the way saw the wheel chocks, Good Job!
I hope he will. I need a bigger one, and he needs a small starter, street legal, bike.

Looks familiar. Trying to make the right mirror match the left?

How did I miss this? Glad to see you stopped shaving your legs.

I guess so! No one saw the fall, but I aint ashamed!

If you ain't falling every now and then, you ain't riding hard enough.

Great ride reports . Eeore , next time you go , let's hook up with Derrick and we can all have a blast . Nice XR 80 for the scout .

I rode I 20 West this morning . Eight hours later , I rode I 20 East .

Yep. Didn't fall today, but I am limping and my foot is swollen pretty good.

We will let you know for sure. It was a great time. Met some cool dudes, there too. It would be alot of fun, hope we can do it, soon, before the next summer.

Where's the Photo, of your injury. Be brave, Backwoods, aint Skeered!

I hope you didn't get hurt tripping over a pile of stolen motorcycle tire-changing tools What happened, are you ok, and most importantly, WHERE ARE THE PICS!?

Stepped on a tool left in my garage by a tool.

Good call. We can clearly see who is PUI...

Not sure what you're talking about.
