[QUOTE="Nestrick, post: 778954, member: 45162"] KTM Mike ... thanks for the replies & the invite for a ride sometime ... I'll try take you up on it but you'll likely tire of my slow pace in rather short order ... maybe you'll see more of the countryside though? ;) Let's see now, 15 in 1977 ... that makes you somewhere around 41 ... your memory of biking in your third year is amazing, guess it shows how important this activity has been, and remains in your lifestyle. As for the comment about your being [I]slow[/I] ... I'm sure that assessment is relative to [I]your[/I] reference point, but from mine I have learned thus far that many long-term bikers tend to be [I]'sand baggers' [/I] ... they talk about being slow, once on the bike though ... color them [I]'gone' [/I] !!! Hey, I rode Mio, Crapo Creek and Big Bear last fall ... my wife & I stayed at the Garlands for three days on some sort of fall special they had where the condos were real cheap. She spent the days scrapbooking & I got to ride ... had a blast! These trails are considerably tighter and much more rugged that the ones around the Houghton Lake area, excepting perhaps the new parts of the south St. Helen loops... they also are considerably more muddy in many spots, especially in the forest at Mio. I suppose that's one of the reasons you were riding at Rose Creek this spring ... a little less water with which to contend or a drastic change from greasy, root-infested trail? I'm also guessing that short, but very steep hill climb going south on the Mio loop where it overlaps with Hunt Creek on the west side is really a bear when it's wet and muddy ... I took me two tries to make it when it was relatively dry last fall ... the route straight up the ravine, not the switchback beside it. The black Yukkies were relatively dry last fall ... bet that's changed this spring too! Walkman ... thanks for the input to KTM Mike ... your ride story makes mine sound a bit bland ... but so far [knock on wood] I've not been lost, run out of gas, or had to do any significant walking ... I'd much rather read about that part of this sport than experience it myself. I imagine that except for it not getting dark before you found someone, you endured a very scary situation ... I suspect that an experience such as that tends to change the way you approach the details of riding from that point on in your life ... I agree and do employ all of your lessons learned ... as to the moral, high speed will likely never be much of a problem for me ... but if it does, I'll surely remember your story! Ride safe & maybe you'll pass me some day out there? YZMAN400 ... what exactly is a "cube jockey" and does this occupation positively influence your need to ride dirt bikes as fast as they will go as often as you can get out of said "cube"? :ride: Thanks for the hint about an MSR Roost Pak ... it got me going on solving the problem of carrying a camera. I needed a new set of vented Jersey and Pants ... my old Moose Saharas are basically shot after two years hard wear ... while very cool, they just are not strong enough in the fly snap area and the seams in the legs ... plus several burn holes from my pipe didn't help matters much! So, after looking up the Roost Pak on the MX South site I also ordered a new set of MSR System X Vented pants & jersey ... hopefully I'll be cool & look great for all those upcoming digital pics soon to come when I'm riding with a camera ... I know, BS just seems to flow out of my keyboard, and yes, I talk alot in person too ... but thanks again for the suggestions and we'll see how things work out. terry nestrick :laugh: [/QUOTE]
