paulmbowers 236 Posted December 22, 2013 We had up to 23 riders today for the Noobish- wildly varying experience and bikes. It was a great ride, and I'm hoping participants will write their experiences here- how was it for you? No falls, no flats, no collisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted December 22, 2013 Great day all and OUTSTANDING job by the Stroms, GS's and 1200 Tiger especially. Got 'em dirty and no crashes. The confidence Phil and Todd had through the water crossing was impressive. Nicely done. Thx to PMB and Bob and all who made it an enjoyable ride! Great attitudes, waiting at turns, encouraging and water safety at the crossing. Couldn't ask for a better way to spend half a day. Some of us did put away some burgers at Brody's afterward.

bikeslut 1 Posted December 22, 2013 Another "kudos" to the big bike guys! The water crossing, the optional climb and descent, some rutted loose stuff, and right near the end...the ride across the 12" bridge! To everybody that joined, I hope you all had fun and improved your skills at the same time (I know bubbagums and CVRick got their wheelie practice in!) I left my camera at home, unfortunately, but I saw some go-pros and some cameras taking pictures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spdnjoe 0 Posted December 22, 2013 Hopefully on the next noob ride I can join in. I am not a noob to riding, just to my BRP. I just recently picked up a plated XR650R. Was away from riding for 3 yrs. I live in the O.C. but would definitely make the drive up ! Looks like a great time ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're going to come that far, make sure the ride leader knows, so they can make it worth your while I know some fun loops at McCain Valley and CorralCanyon; I try to ride every Sunday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You guys have way better riding out that way than we do in the O.C. Any day riding is worth my time. I don't care if they are fire roads or single track. A day riding is priceless ! Whether it's a cruise around town or a full day of riding. I've been riding the Cleveland National Forest (main divide)trying to get used to the bigger bike. Still need to dial in the suspension .

bikeslut 1 Posted December 22, 2013 Whats this "suspension" you speak of? It's a "dirt bike" thing...guys on adv bikes have no need for such things! RideOn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still like to hit some rough stuff here and there. I just like my stuff being dialed in as much as possible to enjoy the full effect of riding. LED light bar on the way for night riding and better tires. I cant upload pics for some reason. getting upload skipped error messages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
