Wow your right for a change :think: I dont know what I was looking at when I posted that. I could of sworn that there was a few more side roads in there. Just pulled up my strets 98 and sure enough those mysterious streets have disapeared. Just like the southbound Boon trail always seems to disapear for you. :laugh:

Ok if I have to......
Ay Woodsy...Did you notice that some deviant was wippin cookies in your driveway today????
You missed out on a chance to ride today. I was beeting on your door for like hours and no answer. I rode 75 miles this morning :nener:

Oh and I have solved the re-routed cedar creek trail mystery. Woodsy I am suprised you didn't catch this one yourself. I was rollin down sweeter and I seen stapled on a pole the same strange arrows that were on the trail at Cedar.
1st off...Isn't it strange that we dirtbikers can spot a 3" orange triangle stapled to a tree as we zip past at 60mph but cant manage to see that pile of dirty cloths that we left on the floor.....
Anyways that funny squigly arrow that I spoted on Sweeter road was a dead ringer for the one in the woods. And this one had the added bonus of having "Barn Sale" writen on it. Now isn't that the name of a tire shop out that way??? Im thinking that the owner or employe of the tire barn is the culprit. :|
Nice little piece of detective work huh??? And you wonder how I seem to know every little thing....I have skills baby!

YOu rotten sucker YZMAN!! I came home from helping a customer unload, pulled in the driveway and my wife says "don't you call that a donut?" and I said "yea and that totally burns my bananas!!!" She says, "I never thought you were sensitive about our dirt driveway" and I responded with "I'm not - but I am sensitive when I miss a perfectly good chance to go riding with a friend and these guys know it and thats why there is a donut there - its a guy thing Honey - part of the "code of the dirtbiker" to sign your buddies driveway like that!!"
Oh yea Don - I NOTICED!!!!!!!!!! :aj:
So thats about it.
As I was heading out of the parking lot at 6:00pm after a full day of riding we ask Woods if he and Ted need help loading there bikes....There response was "heck no we are going riding. We are heading to baldwin....." You two are an inspiration... :nod: :) :ride:

Hey guys, was today a great day or what? First off I'd like to thank everyone for the food and drink. It really hit the spot after a good ride. Young Ted's cake was sure knock out too-----however I think there was some special ingredient, I saw it sponaneously combust twice while it just sat there by itself in the hot sun.
I finally got to put a face to a few names here. I just really regret not getting around to everyone. I''ll be sure to talk to everybody at the up coming fall SOS (Sick of Summer) ride though.
Again, thanks for a super ride and the hospitality. Shannon (AKA Morgan).

yea i noticed that to about that cake, im pretty sure i couldnt pass a breathalizer test after eating that cake. yea for me it was nice to finnaly meet alot of the drn crew to. im still kinda bummed i forgot to top off my gas tank at home before comming up i though that half a tank on my longrange tank would be enough, im sorry i had to bail out on you guys there. man those were some fun trails, so much fun i now have a list of things i need to change on my bike.
1.fill tank up before next ride
2. cut stupid full length bars down ( i have pine sap on my bark busters if you know what i mean)
3. look into one of those new fangled up auto clutches like yzmans, or duck boys, Or refuse to ride another bike equiped with that for the rest of my life.
4. remember to bring the trail tech computer this time and not leave it sitting in the tool box at home.
5. remember how we got to the trail head and not zone out wile following yzman there, then take a senic route to the russle road exit on 31.
man those were nice trails today, and excellent brats, the cake was scrumtralessent.
ill sure go to the S.O.S ride, or the SOWAWTRR. sick of waiting another week to ride ride (pronounced swatter)
and the bench racing was great to. now its time for a shower and some sleep, i almost cant wait for wolfys head cam vid.

Great ride yesterday Y'all. :cool: I had a great time and am looking forward to an excelent riding season this year with you guys. I have 2 hours of helmet cam footage (about 1 gigabyte of raw footage) that I have to cut down to make it a downloadable video that I can host. so it may take me a few days. I will have all my pics up tonight so I will post them then. Thanx for a great day everyone. :ride:
It was my first trip Holton trail, the bike only trail was excellent.
It was good to see old friends and some new DRN’S :cool:
A big thanks to Pat (70 marlin) for the brats and dogs.
Thanks to everyone who helped with food and drinks.
Ted’s Famous Rum cake was top shelf once again.
Hope to ride again soon.

WOW what day of FUN!! Riding with the best of the best from morning till about 1:30. Ahhhh yea, those new trails were AWESOME to say the least!! Matter of fact, I ran the troops in a couple of circles again - got us lost twice and was able to get part of the group separated fromthe rest of us for a short time - NOT BAD FAR A COUPLE HOURS OF RIDING!!!!
Hit the home front for my daughters birthday party right on time!!
Came back and talked Ted into staying for another short jaunt (didnt have to talk much - just, hey Ted wanna head to Baldwin??).
Because everyone one else WHIMPED on us (ohhh, ok, that was reasonable cause you guys did another 40 miles after I left for the party!!) so Ted and I did it alone.. We rode "cross country" to Benton Lake - ripped my favorite section of single track on the MCCCT up around Nichols again (Ted leading) and then broke out of the woods up above Nichols.. THe sled trail sign said Baldwin atta way - we headed atta way with about 45 minutes of daylight left.. I stopped Ted in the road and said "you know, with it getting as late as it is and us not knowing exaclty where we would be if you kept going corss country we have the potential for one of those "Woodsy specials tonight"! He said - sounds good and we turned around and went back in the woods :rotfl:
Few dead ends, couple of back tracks and a bunch of SWAMP land later and bingo - we came out about 4 miles (cross country) short of Baldwin :aj:
Grabbed the rail line 2-track and rode within 1 mile of Baldwin - stopped at a BP station (that was BP wasnt Ted?) to fix Ted light and headed home in the dark!!
Got back to the lot around 10ish, went to Burger King for a bowl of chili and a burger with nothing on it - 2 waters and about another hour of bench racing. Ted headed for Chicago around midnight and I got an E-Mail from him timed at 2:40 am - ahhhhhh - MY HERO!!!!!
Anyway, yea - GREAT RIDE GUYS!!!!!!!
Keep the front end lite and the rubber side down!!
Woodsy
Oh yea, "On Any Monday Riders" are riding Tuesday - departing Cedar at 10am bound for Boon (or WHEREVER WE END UP) - all welcome!!! Ride as much or as little with us as you'd like!!! Will be dusty but oh well, it happens when your having fun sometimes!! :moon:
For those of you who didnt make it - this is what a cake made by a true ROTTEN SUCKER who is trying to stir up a little trouble looks like!
