[QUOTE="woodsy, post: 672991, member: 27856"] Well, Randy Sneller and I headed out Monday morning for our "normal" weekly ride. He arrived on time at my home at 9 am (something that is getting less and less common :) ). We loaded the bikes on the trailer and headed North, planning on parking at the 32nd street "little O" lot just North of Baldwin for a whole day of ripping our way to Boon. I am known as a very "spontaneous" person (you never really know where and when I may show up for a ride) and Randy has picked up some of my "bad traits" in this way!! That being said, as we proceeded thru Baldwin and came to the "10" intersection I noticed the sign that said "Reed City at away". I looked at randy and asked if he had ever ridden Evart. He said no - I have never ridden Evret. I reminded him of all the FUN I had recently with "Young Ted" and the "Boys" for Chicago at the EVART loop and begged him to let me turn atta way. As usual he caved (like I had to even ask twice). As we traveled the route over to EVART I asked Randy if he had any idea of why he and everyone else calls EVE - ART ,, EV - RET. He said he had no idea but he did know that EV - RET is how everyone pronounces it.. I said that I Was starting a "fad" and going to begin using the correct pronunciation (sp) for that FABULOUS riding area, just out of RESPECT!! We pulled into the EVART riding area and parked where I had parked on last ride. What a BEAUTIFUL day and FABULOUS COLOR!! My GOSH it was GORGEOUS in that forest!! Usually I have a hard time "stopping and smelling the roses" but on this ride I had a hard time not doing it!!! Something that I noticed as soon as we pulled into the lot was the amount of leaves that were already down. If you have ever ridden this loop you know of the MANY ROCKS and ROOTS that await us on that loop that only add to the fun of the trail. Now picture ALL of them being hidden by leaves and imagine what it was going on with the front of our bikes as we "ricocheted" from one obstruction to another - what a CHALLENGE!!! We had a BALL - and got a great workout! We got to the top (north end) of the loop and got involved in a "logging operation" somehow. We came over this hill and right in front of us was a "tree puller" dragging a full size Maple Tree to its doom and blocking the trail with its "biters". We got around this rig and tryed to pick the trail back up. We ended up "lost" (something else I am getting known for, Randy and I enjoy it but there are others on this side of the state that wont ride with me cause of this) and had to ride 2 tracks and compass our way back to the trail. We finally found the trail again at the "Sand Pit" (KX500 country) and played awhile. We got back to the Jeep with a total ride time of 2 hours!! We then slipped the bikes back on the trailer and headed back over to the 32nd street lot. Stopped at the Marathon Station for a "Fish" lunch and hit the trail!! We rode to the top of the Little O and then jumped on some 2 tracks for a "cooling off" period. Rode the "tracks" for about an hour - ended up back at the "Main Intersection" at the top of the "O" and headed west to finish her off!! The "O" was in pretty good shape (whoop wise) and Ward Hills were as fun as ever!! We got back to the Jeep just about dark - another GREAT ride!! Randy checked the Odometer on his XR and we totaled 78 miles for the day. He said (and I concur - but dont tell him that :) ) that because of the EVART workout it seemed more like one of our 150 mile hard riding trail days!! BETRER GET OUT AND RIDE IF YOU WANNA ENJOY THE COLOR!! It is going fast! Yep, SIEZE THE DAY! Woodsy [/QUOTE]
