May 24th, 8:00 am we are ready to roll. Everyone is gased and ready to ride. One machine does not want to start. Someone left the key on? Friends grab a battery charger and pull up another machine, give the dead bike a boost and we are off. We carry everything we may need on the trail with us between the group. On an overnight trip we take a van with a trailer. We haul the baggage and the trailer will transport a dead bike or haul a bike for a rider who does not ride...who would want to like the van when you have a bike.
This is just one of the beautiful scences along the way. What a day for a ride!
The terrain provides a variety of riding for the rider. Never a dull moment. Riders stay back to avoid the dust and to give himself time to make a sudden stop if he has to. There is seldom a time when you meet another machine coming towards you but when you do, we use the hand signals we use for snowmobiling to tell how may are behind. Rarely a time when you just pass by. Everyone wants to stop and chat and find out where you are headed and where you have been. Hints and directions about obstacles along the way are shared.
Water is a challenge along the trail and it adds to the excitement. There is always comments on what machine is going to pull another one across. Our guide checks out the trail first before he send us across. If he don't go we don't go!
Travelling with a group is great as you have more hands on deck when you have to do something? Removing fallen treees along the way is easier with friends. A good way to burn calories. Should be lunch time soon.
