[QUOTE="AnneBrooks, post: 99647, member: 21408"] Great ride reports, Bbbom, Kali and Aimee!! Sounds like lots of fun, and beautiful views. Good ol' flat Illinois does not have any views like that!! We, too, went riding over Memorial Day. We headed up to Baldwin, Michigan for some camping and riding. We went with Jon & Sue Diaz and Theresa and Sandi. After our initial scare at the Bates Motel :scream: , we found the correct cabins, thankfully!!! We unloaded our gear and suited up. We headed to a trail called the "Little O". This was a 40 mile loop that was located in a forest that seemed to go on an on. It was a neat trail and we were clipping along nicely. Lots of whoops (sand), sweeping corners and technical sections. Most of it was wide open and very fast. The entire trail was a ball! Afterward we headed back to camp and proceeded to eat like pigs and have a nice bonfire until we passed out. We woke up on Sunday to find it raining!!!!!!:think and raining, and raining. Finally, after about 4-5 hours of sitting in our small cabin, we decided to brave the weather and head out. We ended up only riding about 15 miles or so because it was impossible to see where you were going with the rain. And the whoops that were so fun the day before, were not quite as fun in the rain and the ditches were filled with water. Oh well, we tried! Of course, on Monday,there were bright clear skies. We drove to St. Cloud and tried a new trail there. This trail had a bigger variety of terrain. The whoops were still filled to the brim with water and just when you thought we had gone high enough in elevation to avoid the water holes, there were more!! The hills were neat, more valley like terrain. Finally, we all got sick of fighting the water holes and headed back. We will definitely go back when it stops raining and the trails are dry enough to ride on. I seem to have finally gelled with my XR250. I have been riding every weekend for the last 12 or so and that has helped me immensely!! I am going faster and faster through the woods and was actually clipping along in 4th gear on the trails in Michigan!! That is flying for me!! In addition to that, the Michelin S12's that Bob put on my bike are AWESOME! They were GREAT in the sandy terrain in MI. Have I said that I LOVE riding yet??:cool: Well, thanks for the encouragement and great comments! This site has been very helpful to my confidence!! [/QUOTE]
