Hey Jeremy and Chris,
Aaron here from Carlsbad as well. I have a tiger 800 xc. lots of street riding experience but not much offroad. I did the adventure bike class out at motoventures two weekends ago and have some skills to practise at least. Ordering some 50/50 tires for my bike soon so moderate/slow trail rides will be in my future as well. hit me up next time as I would like the help lifting my bike when i drop it.
haha
