[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 97406, member: 16301"] Soooooo GSR, you are liking the woods now eh!!! ;) Glad to hear it! We did a little riding around the homestead, typical Karl trails. I had to comment to him at one point when I stopped to take a look and saw ahead of me absolutely no indication of a trail whatsoever, one CR500 parked in the bushes, one green helmet bobbing in the bushes apparently with a small KX60 rider under it, several bushes shaking violently as the KX60 rider was attempting to dislodge his handlebars from yet another forest of sticks and bushes and my KLX300 stopped just entering the sticklands with my 15 year old nephew still attached to it, that I had this same picture about this time last year. Yep, another typical Karl ride! We had a blast though. Opened up some seriously technical, nasty singletrack trails. The little ladybugs (the little girls on the PW80 & LEM50)had tired out on the beginner run so we took them home and Karl, my son (8), my nephew (15) and myself went on a "quick one hour loop". We headed out to the powerline hill via the ridge trail (great single track that dumps us down The Hill). My son was leading followed by my nephew and myself with Karl quickly coming up on my butt as I got to a nice section of trees that twists & turns. I could hear him so I kept my pace up because I knew he wouldn't dare try to pass me in this section. WRONG! Just as I was going wide into a nice bermed corner, I suddenly saw the front tire, bars & helmet of my darling. BUMP the bars hit but luckily there was enough room for us to squeeze through, he was gone & I was determined to catch him, to no avail! We stopped for a break at the powerline and decided to try out an old trail that hasn't been used since early last year (it gets pretty ugly). It started out with a great singletrack trail with brush along both sides and twists and turns, nice easy riding. It popped us out on an old overgrown grassy logging road. The boys took off on it so I decided it was time for mom to take the lead and I didn't need permission. I had passed Karl (he was sandbagging) and was just getting past my son on an old overgrown grassy logging road when, as I passed him I saw the LOG sticking out of the bank at head height. I hit the rear brake, locked it up and the rear tire began to come around in front of me, almost layed it over but miraculously pulled out of it (goosing the throttle helped). Yeah, saved that one, I told myself. At the next stop Karl (and myself) was still shocked and amazed I hadn't gone down and ended up with KX60 knobbies across my head. I dismissed it and told him it was no big deal, I've been practicing my cornering. ;) So we continued on the grassy overgrown road all of us dodging the hidden logs, rocks, roots, kelly humps, etc. I came around a bend and could see Karl and the two boys stopped. I was looking at them wondering to myself, why in the world would they stop THERE! I slowed down to just a putt and as I looked back down I saw the LOG. It was laying at about 20 degrees, almost parallel to the trail, my front tire hit it, slid along it, followed by my rear tire and then as I came to the end I tipped over. THAT explained the boys! Of course since they are not stupid, they were on their way before I got mine picked back up. The rest of the ride was pretty uneventful, we just cruised down the trails headed back to the house - of course the "one hour loop" was actually 2.5 hours but we had a great ride. Rediscovered some trails that we had forgotten about and I made it over all the roots on Root Hill (this is one we took once last year & I got stuck on it for 3 trys then had to give up). Best part was, my son didn't pass me on the logging road trail back home. FINALLY, I whooped his little butt!!! :p And yes, I did rub it in!!!!:confused: [/QUOTE]
