[QUOTE="woodsy, post: 757821, member: 27856"] Day 2: I woke up at 5:30 am (that’s right Ted – your not the only one to get up that early!!) to try and catch up on my work so I could ride with some NEW DRN friends! I read a post by Bbarel at 6:20 that they wouldn’t make it cause of rain.. I went ahead and headed north for my early morning pickup and was home by 12:20. I jumped back on line and checked DRN for any ride news and noticed that Bbarel had reposted that they WERE riding. I loaded Kadie and headed for Horseshoe. When I got there I was surprised to NOT see the Red Pickup Bbarel had posted would be at the trailhead. I thought, “I wonder of they may have gone to Cedar instead”.. I then noticed a KTM sticker on the back of a truck in the lot parked next to a red van.. I thought maybe I misread the post.. In a total state of confusion I decided to ride the trails/two tracks in my van back to Cedar Creek with a chance of bumping in to Bbarel in the process (now think about that a moment – I am looking for 4 riders of which NONE of them I have EVER met, on a trail they have never ridden at 2 hours past the time they were leaving – NO CHANCE!!).. I was about half way down the connecting Holton trail and here comes a rider on a KTM. I stopped the van and he stopped. I rolled down the window and said “how many more ya got coming? He says 2. He says “any idea how to get to Holton? I said sure, why? He said “we need air for one of our bikes. I said “I have a can of fix a flat if it would help. He said “nah, we really need to get to a pump. I said, “is there a guy in your group named Bret? He sais – I am Bret – WOODSY hahahaha!!! Bret said - “have you got your bike with you? I said “of course”. I then pulled the Van over on the side of the Trail and unloaded right there.. The first pic here is of these riders who came all the way over from Livonia to ride with ol Woodsy!! Left to right are (Bbarel) Bret, Dave Krick and Steve Carver.. NONE of us could get over this chance encounter (and I am sure we NEVER will!!). We left the parked van and headed toward Holton for air. We hadnt gone very far and I recalled a person in the area who had been a customer of mine. We stopped there and got some air – this made for more ride time!!! Being a complete gentlemen, I asked my guest what type of terrain they would like to ride. Funny how they seemed to be out of the same mold as Woodsy and said – woodsy and TIGHT!! I gave them the grand tour of the area and believe they REALLY enjoyed themselves.. After a short excursion of night crawler hunting with my face I was VERY glad to have these 3 GREAT riders with me – they came with TOOLS and PARTS enough to put Kadie back together again so we could keep riding (THANKS YOU GUYS!!).. I had to slow the pace down over the whoops (riding with a broken bar saddle gives me the willys) but we were still able to keep it entertaining for another 17 plus miles.. We found our way back to the Trailhead (no small accomplishment with yours truly) and said our goodbyes. Of course, we traded phone numbers and I told Dave about DRN (I see he already posted – way to go Dave!!). I didn’t leave until I got some info about special riding places of theirs and also info on riding enduroes (never done it myself but you never know about ol’ Woodsy!!). I parted company and rerode the bottom loop of Horseshoe alone, thinking about what a great day it had been. Made it back to the van and thought to myself – I am not to far from where Fred T. had placed his fender in the stop sign and it would serve him right (after teasing Mweissen about Andy’s mishap) if I stopped and got a pic of it – SOOOOOOO – HEY FRED, does this last pic look familiar? Ahh, home in time to prep for our Monday ride and YOUNG TED is coming!!!!! [/QUOTE]
