So were have we all rode so far this year?

[YZMAN400]

I was thinking about that the other day and put up a mental list of trails that I have been on this year. So here it is. Were have you all been ridding this summer?

Ceder Creek
Horseshoe Lake
White Cloud Trail
Tin Cup
Little Manistee
Lincoln Hills
Little O
Parts of the Big O
Caberfae
Drummond Island
Evart
Lost Lake (Ice ridding)
Big Air MX

I am hoping to add these to the list b4 the snow flies:
Missake Junction
Long Lake
Kalkaska
The entire Big O.
Open ride at Red Bud.
and maybe Blue Lake(the bottom of the horseshoe trail that has been under reconstruction)

Now I think I also gotta add 7 mile staging area on the Lincoln Hills trail on up to the town of Boone, thru the Caberfae trail, and back as a trail of its own due to the unique nature of the personal involved in this ride. This has been done once already in the spring and I would love to go back this year again.

Another GREAT thread!! Lets see here, oh yea, I did ride a little BEFORE this surgery thingy...
Little Manistee Single Track
Lincoln Hills Single Track
Big "O" Single Track
Cedar Creek (bunches)
Horseshoe Lake - both Kids Loop and Big Loop (bunches)

Cedar Creek to Pines Point
Cedar Creek to Baldwin (AWESOME DUAL SPORTIN)
Cedar Creek to Bitely x 2 (more DUAL SPORTIN!!)
The Boon Trail x 2 (ALWAYS GREAT COMPANY)
Lost on the Boon Trail x 4 (you always double the trail miles when your lost, in some cases even this isnt enough!!, also, the "GREAT COMPANY" sometimes loses its "GREATNESS" when lost!)
My own play ground with Cartwheel (more then I should have)
Riding not included in prior list = 1/2 of a new rear tire on Kadie!
Doesnt look promising for additional miles this year but if I could:
I would LOVE to ride with EVERYONE from this board at least once!
" " do the entire MCCCT a couple times!
" " ride the ENTIRE Upper Peninsula system!
" " go down to South Carolina and Ride with Ivan!!!
" " to get my street bike out and hit the West Coast with one of the kids on board!!
Finally, I would LOVE to have covered even half the miles that Young Ted has covered this year (if he responds to this thread you will see what I mean!!) Of course this is dreaming, but "the dreamin keeps me steamin" :thumb:

Getting ready to go again somewhere.
Young Ted

 

[woodsy]

HEY INCA: Just curious about something Ted, is there a reason that you report (2) getting losts at the begining of your list and none at the middle or end? Perhaps you could look in your little book and see if this is statistically "normal" for you :)

"Yea I knew we would get to see some of the sweet places that people have been ridding like Engineer pass"

MISCOTT: YZMAN was right about that!! I cannot wait to see those Colorado pics!!! THe Owls eyes are OPEN!!

Been there done that. :laugh:

One of the pictures I have from Engineer Pass, is of that same sign, with myself, Ron and our KDX's in front of it.
Ron is the friend I brought to ROS. Our two families spent a week out in the Silverton area. Our sons did some riding too, but not up Engineer. ;)

My 6 rolls of film have been developed. I need to pick out some pics and scan them. The pics from Engineer are on Ron's 1 time use camera. We didn't want to risk my Pentax or his Digital on the pass.

 

[YZMAN400]

Silverton huh.....

Then this might look familiar

[INCA]

Woodsy - Normal for me is to just follow along. I'm not a good trail leader. The thread is about where we ride, not what the individual does. That you were on both of the lost rides is pure coincidence. Not my fault.

Young Ted

 

[woodsy]

Young Ted: I really appreciate those last words "NOT MY FAULT" - I have tried to use those on countless rides and they really dont seem to work for me :) Hopefully they have served you better - of course, you and I both know that the word "instigater" does apply at times :laugh:

BEAUTIFUL shots there guys, makes me DRUEL with envy!! I LOVE the mountains! :thumb:
Woodsy

 

[INCA]

Woodsy - What? Me instigate. No way. I do my best to actually produce. I'd say Judge MWeissen is more of an instigator.
