[QUOTE="CAL, post: 478766, member: 19233"] I can't thank everyone enough for making this ride so great! It is by far the best ride Turkey Bay has ever seen. There is no way you could find a better group of guys to ride with and hang out with. I was a little late getting to TB Friday, but finally got there at about 2:15. Everyone was out on the trails when I got there, but by the time I suited up, the crew was back. We said a few hello's and then decided to hold off the small talk, because we were running out of daylight. We took everyone this time out. The MX guys were having some "woods moments" but everyone did well. We took it pretty easy for a while. Some how we lost Biglou. Dad, David, and I went looking for him but couldn't find him. As per Sarge's instructions, we pressed on. Sarge then decided to take a detour (which happened to be a much harder route) under a fallen tree. I went back and rounded him up. Somehow, Sarge and I got separated from the pack a little later. We stopped to listen for the other bikes, and Sarge says "you know how to get back to the truck?". I said, "well, no, but I can get us there" ;) As I continue to listen for bikes, and the sun is getting low, Sarge says, "c'mon man, we gotta get out of here, we're gonna DIE out here!" I laughed and lead Sarge about 1/2 mile through the woods right to the truck. We made it out alive! Lou found out I had a sandwich in my truck and wrestled me to the ground so he could split it [B]50/50[/B] with Eddie. :) After some shootin' the bull at the trucks, we headed for Moors Resort and the Prime Rib special. I had just as much fun eating and hanging with the guys as I did riding. It's amazing how diverse some of the conversations we had, were. I think we covered everything from reinforced Goat's milk to deep fried twinkies. ;) Saturday was all about the trails! I skipped out on the greasy spoon breakfast and opted for a Powerbar. We congregated at about 9:00 am and had to do a silencer switcheroo on Lou's and Eddie's KTMs. We took off for a loop and Jaybird's chainsaw wasn't too fond of the TB hills and Jay and I got separated from the pack. We came back to the truck and chatted with Irish a while and then attempted to go for a spin on the main loop. But a buggy rider had been injured had was being air lifted out, so the loop was blocked at one end. Jay and I took the long way back to the truck when he proceeded to show me how well his 125 could hook up when it's turning 12,000 rpms. :scream: After we made it back, a few of us more "woods freindly" riders went out for some faster paced miles. Brent i.e. Yamahauler ("what's his name") led the way. He did an excellent job and kept the pace swift, but not dangerous. We cranked out some pretty fast miles through the trees. GREAT riding! Then at lunch we did a little "primitive silencer maintenace" as Darby put it. Between all the guys there we had enough tools and parts to build a spare bike! We then went out for another round of blasting through the trees with Brent (Yamahauler) leading. A few of us came back shortly to pick up Patrick who was working on his carb. We then went out again with Darby leading and did some hill climbing. When we got back to the truck, we all wanted to go out again, but only had about 30 minutes of daylight left and we decided to quit while we were ahead (bodies and bikes in one piece). Jaybird then demo'd his chain washer, and we all started swapping rides. And then of course it was off for the seafood buffet. Eddie, this is KY. Frog legs and catfish are about as "seafood" as we get. I knew this ride would be great, but I had no idea it would turn out like it did. Great weather, great people, great trails (arguably) and hilarious stories! I hope everyone comes back. I'll make the long haul to TB anytime you guys are ready! :p Motormichael is going to send me some pics. I'll post them as soon as I get them. He got some really cool ones out by the lake Friday afternoon as the sun was setting. I was having so much fun riding, I didn't even get my camera out of the truck! [/QUOTE]
