[QUOTE="woodsy, post: 836918, member: 27856"] FIrst pic on this page is a pic of Randy that snuck in this section some how! It was cool out, probably in the 40’s, when we told Ted good bye. This was just after I gave him exact instructions of where we would meet him in Baldwin.. I said “going North thru town there is a Wesco gas station on the left side (west side) of M-37. Just to the north of the station is a little restaurant. We will meet you there between 2:30 and 3, NO LATER THEN 3:30. annnnnndddddd off we went on a REAL Woodsy adventure.. The trails were PERFECT!! It is now cool enough that you didn’t have to worry about sweating off 3 quarts of water.. Also the recent rains have got the trails in PERFECT dustless condition so we were able to ride a VERY tight group – ALWAYS FUN!! The boys REALLY cut me some slack and kept the pace down to very comfortable trail speed. Kadie was running PERFECT – it felt sooooo good to have her beneath me again – I REALLY missed her awesome horsepower and great suspention having been riding these “rehab bikes” (TTR225’s).. We made it north toward School Section Lake, came out of a two track and there was Ted!! Just like the professional Timer that he is – he timed us just perfect!! We stopped and chatted for a while – took a pic (see the 3rd pic here) and headed toward Baldwin to rehook up with him at Wesco.. We followed the West side of the Big “O” up to near Whiskey Creek and then grabbed a handful of highway for a duelly into Baldwin.. After we crossed the Bowman Bridge on Carr Rd I was leading and decided that we needed a little more single track to produce a good appetite for lunch.. We ducted back onto the single trail after crossing the bridge and found some REAL nice trail waiting for us.. It sure brought back some great memories of rides past! We came out of the trail on the west side of Baldwin, rode past the spot where the “Rites of Spring” lunch wagon was set up two years ago.. Took Lake street into town and pulled into the Wesco Gas station that I had told Ted about.. I helped Larry fill his bike (no kickstand – come on Larry, get with the program!!) and then took Kadie over for some fresh “93” octane.. 2.1 gallons she had sucked down for 55 miles of riding – NOT BAD!! It was about then that Randy said “hey, I wonder where Ted is”. I said: “he is probably goofing around in town some where knowing that yahoo”. Randy pushed Kadie over to the resurant while I went inside and payed for my gas.. I walked over to the resturant after this and Randy/Larry were waiting there for me.. I looked at my watch and it was 3:15! I said; “I am getting a little concerned about Ted – I know I told him to meet us here at Wesco”. Larry said: “this is not a Wesco”. I turned and looked at the sign and SURE ENOUGH – it was a BP Station!! :yikes: I then looked at the guys in panic and said – “is there a Wesco in Baldwin?? OOHHHHHHHMYYYYYYY!!! Randy said: “what about the Wesco down by that other trail head where we ate all of Larry’s fish 3 years ago??” I said: “no, that’s a Marathon”. Larry said: “hey, that station that you and I and Chris Huber stopped at that night that Chris lost his master link at 3 am was a Wesco”. I said: “yea, and that was here in town – I am going to see if I can find Ted – I’ll be back”. I went north about 100 feet (you read that right) and on the other side of this big fence – right next door to the BP was a Wesco :eek: I will give you the reader 2 guesses who was sitting right on the street beside the Wesco station – I was a little miffed at Timer for getting lost like that and getting me all shook up; but, I think I did a pretty good job of keeping my anger under raps. If I wouldn’t have found him before our 3:30 deadline I would have probably given him another check on my roost list.. Mr. Smarty Pants was sitting there sleeping, he acted like he knew exactly what he was doing…. We all sat down and had a replay of the early morning breakfast.. We talked about continueing north up to Carrieville. Ted and I split a large “Strombolie” (he even let me order my specialty – mushrooms, pineapple and anchovies) – Randy and Larry made pigs of themselves gulping large quantities of food and drink. We then got into a big political debate. Randy served as the moderater and Ted was the audience with Larry and I expounding our superior intellect about the war and such.. Once again, a couple hours FLEW by while 4 GREAT friends wore out their welcome at another place of peace.. Of course the clock dictated that Carrieville was not in our immediate future so we headed back south. Larry decided to show off his riding skills while I snapped a pic off Kadies back.. Funny thing about this is that Larry NEVER does crazy stuff like high speed wheelies when I have a camera around.. This time I caught him in the act (pic 2). [/QUOTE]
