ShocknAwe 0 Posted August 21, 2008 My next door neighbor just bought her fourth bike - a 2008 Yamaha XT225 dual sport. Her maiden voyage is this Sunday morning (8/24/08). The location is undecided. We will be heading to Pine Valley, Corral Canyon, or Lark Canyon, depending on who else rides. This is a novice ride. Send me a PM or e-mail if you are interested in hooking up.

Jaynen 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Dang my dirt gear is in LA and I have to head up and most likely move some stuff down and/or pack some stuff up this weekend. Looks like wednesday next week we will actually move though and then I will finally have everything in one place! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 412 Posted August 21, 2008 If you guys are at lark/McCain, and wouldn't mind, i would like to cut my daughter loose with you on her XR80 so she has a group to ride with. I will check in at the big tree in the am (me 08 Husky 450, blue ride gear). we will camp sat nite. R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted August 21, 2008 OK- Since my DRZ won't be ready by Sunday, and I'll be on the TW, I'll be out there bright and early again. robert- I will bring my kids, too, so she can hang out with us while you go tear it up... fake name- I expect you don't really want to spend another Sunday morning riding with the dog and pony show, but if you do, we'll see you out there. Robert- I'll be in the red F150 with the TW200, TTR125 and XR70 (I might add the trailer and bring the XR with the street shoes) See you guys there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 412 Posted August 21, 2008 i talked with some the crew last time and we saw you guys out on the main trail ,,,the TW is quite noticeable!!! I rode one at corral many moons ago , it was a gas,,,,but a little bit tough to control with those fat tires. Thanks for the offer. I will look for you guys again. thanks R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted August 21, 2008 my problem with the TW is the ground clearance... the thing is suspended for a midget, and is about 6 inches off the ground... but it is great fun, in a stupid sort of way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rwynant 0 Posted August 23, 2008 Hi boys and girls, Randy here...... this looks to be the most decent weekend in awhile for going east ( I don't do HOT very well ) I'll be bringing my wife Mary Jean and daughter Leah and plan to be there at or near 8am. We run a dark blue 2002 Trailblazer and a bike trailer.....Blue DRZ and Leah's TTR230. OH and our most friendly pup Blazer. BTW RAD's TAT trip has been going well last I heard, other than one of the group fell and hurt his elbow....not sure who that was....I'll see if I can find that update. Here's a quote from the communique: "By the time he picks up his camping gear on the Oregon coast and meanders back home the trip should be about 3 weeks +. Kevin just showed up with a case of beer, signaling a quick end to our phone call." Sounds about right, YEAH? See youz at McCain in the morning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted August 23, 2008 see you there " the other randy" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwynant 0 Posted August 23, 2008 If the space is available, we will usually setup on the west side up against the big rocks just across from the big tree and outhouse. We have a 10x10 shade, ( blue, who knew ) and will have that up first thing!! We do have a late afternoon gig, so we'll need to be rolling out of there around 2pm at the latest....should be fun, as it's been since June that Leah's been able to ride....swim team/soccer/dance you name it.....makes me tired just saying it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree 0 Posted August 23, 2008 I'll be out there Sunday. Trying to be there by 6am and bail around 11am. I can haul one more bike if anyone needs a ride and is good with those hours. See you all there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See you all there. we'll meet you by the OTHER tree I crack myself up... So, I'll be on Romper Room duty with my boys and robert's daughter...tree, robert and FN can go tear it up... I'll probably be leaving by 10 or 10:30, too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShocknAwe 0 Posted August 24, 2008 My neighbor works Sunday and wants to stay a little closer to town than Lark Canyon. We start riding Pine Valley at 6 a.m. We will ride a little at PV and come back, and then decide whether to dual sport it to Corral Canyon for some novice trails. Shock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted August 24, 2008 Paul- If you want to make the most of your time, skip Pine Valley... go straight to the same parking area we met at the night ride... Find a map on-line, and take her, from the parking area... trail 1, then turn right on trail 2... when you get to the campground, take Spur Meadow up to the lookout tower, then the paved road back OR take the Espinosa Trail all the way around... greenhorn is another easy route, THEN you can decide if she's ready for Kernan... I'm working til midnight, so I'll be tired in the morning, but will probably still go to Lark... the boys seem to like the openess of the central area. but shaving 30 minutes off the drive, each way, sounds pretty appealing... Robert is already out there, and was counting on me to watch his kid for a bit, so I probably WON'T see you at Corral... want me to yell at you before you go? "STAND UP DURING THE ROCKY SECTIONS!" "KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE PEGS!" "STAY OFF THE FRONT BRAKE" "POWER THROUGH THAT!" "KEEP ROLLING" there; now you won't even miss me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShocknAwe 0 Posted August 24, 2008 That's the game plan! We will be on the road by 6 a.m. and arrive at Four Corners at 7 a.m. Call or text me in the morning if u can't make it to Lark - Shock's blackberry (619) 756-5002 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric is not going, so maybe I'll just let Morgan ride the 70, and he can ride with us... he's faster on the 125 but he falls more... see you guys all tomorrow...
