[QUOTE="DWreck, post: 1273451, member: 30114"] Okay I'm back.....Part 2 Once we had our crew we headed off somewhere around 10:30-11am with Tom sporting a helmet cam in the fog and immediately start encountering downed trees across the trail. My first thought was that someone had done this on purpose but JMD reminded us of the ice storm that had hit most of the state. Before long it became a game of seeing who could find the best line around or over the downed trees. One of my less successful attempted rewarded me with a sticker vine across the neck. Crashnburn had the best one while trying to go over an elevated tree on a down hill resulting in a spectacular endo. Dude, what were you thinking? On the way there we stopped at a place called white rock that rewarded us with a spectacular view as the fog had burned off by now. Not to long after this as we stopped to make sure we had everyone in tow someone mentioned that we had almost spent as much time BSing as riding and we laughed and decided we better start putting down the miles. Gene's rear tire had other ideas and went flat. Fortunately he was prepared and had an extra tube. Before long we were off again this time being held up by a derailed chain on Tom's bike. They almost had it going again by the time we got back to them and my only thought now was FOOD! We took off again at a pretty good pace as the trail seemed to be a little easier and everyone had gotten a feel for the terrain. As we pulled into the store at Muse I see Gene pointing at his front wheel.....flat. Wow at least there was an air hose there. We went in and I ordered way to much food and somehow managed to eat it all. Now I was ready for a nap. Poor Gene was finishing up his front tire repair and the bikes were fueled up and ready for the trip back. By now it was mid to late afternoon and we had a lot of miles to cover to get back and we took off like 6 men on a mission with the plan to ride back the way we came with no short cuts until the fear of darkness would get in the way. We came close to making it but decided that we didn't want to mess with all the downed trees that were on the first couple of miles of trail and Gene took off with us in tow trusting his GPS to get us back to camp. We had lost JMD and Mike along the way as Jim took off on an alternate route. He also had a GPS and knowledge of the trails so we kept plugging along trusting that we would see them back at camp. We pulled back into camp as the sun was starting to set, satisfied in our 68 miles. As we were pulling up camp and getting cleaned up Jim and Mike pulled into camp. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Jim and Tom as they were pulling out of camp before I made it back up there. Gene, Mike, Donald and I headed north to Stillwater stopping for fuel and food and dropping Donald off in Jenks. We made it to my house at about 2:30am and quickly went to bed knowing tomorrow would bring another 50 miles at the 500. more to come [/QUOTE]
