Joe called up and wanted to get out again, and I'm just the type of guy to say yes. I rode up to the place where he's staying and we took off. We basically took back roads around Butte Falls and worked our way home. Yes, it was still hot and, yes, we found new routes. So cool! -Tom 280821596 https:...

My buddy Joe was anxious to get out and so was I. We took off from his house and made our way towards Butte Falls. We ended up on some unused back areas and wound our way around to Butte Falls proper, where we ran into world famous Blair Anderson and had a nice visit. From there we took some back r...

An early start was the goal, but I got sidetracked at the gas station by my neighbors, who were going water skiing. Once I got to Joe's, they had me fix their grandfather clock for Joe's boss, DonK. Then Joe and I took off towards Flounce Rock above Lost Creek Lake. Wow, was it smokey out due to th...

Tim and I wanted to get in a short puttsy before it got hot, so we took off around 9AM. I really wanted to follow out an old road I knew of, so we did that first, which led us to Evans Creek. We then snaked around on some trails that Tim knew of, and wow was it fun! https://photos.smugmug.com/Motor...

Tim invited me on a loop that I had not been on before. Wow, was it cool! https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and-Trail-Pictures/7818-Dualsporting-Elk-Creek-with-Tepper/i-4Gr3rv6/0/b2a2495c/X2/IMG_5194-X2.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and-Trail-Pictures/7818-Dualspor...

Day Five We awoke to a beautiful day in Crescent City! I had a separate route planned for our return trip that would knock the socks off the guys. And who knew we would be sharing our hotel with Elwood Blues? https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/NW-Tour-and-Trail-Pictures/5818-Riding-Visit-with-S...

Day Four My old racing bud, JoeM, came out of the blue and was able to go dualsporting with us to Crescent City, CA and back, so we agreed to meet up at ForestB's house in Ruch for staging out of. So now there was four of us. Forest would show us the way for a couple miles, then would come back hom...

Day Three Since Kerry does not own a trials bike, I told Scott to bring his down. My bud, Dave, lives in Jacksonville and has his own trials sections on his property. He was gracious enough to let Kerry use one of his [a new TRS] trials bikes. An old friend, Neal, even showed up on an old Honda. Of...

Day Two I figured I could kill two birds with one stone on this day: pull the A-course markers for the recent May-Day Poker Run. That way Da Boys would get a killer ride in, and accomplish something (for a change). We pulled ribbon most all day and even tried to hook up with my riding bud, Neal, bu...

Day One They (Scott and Kerry) arrived on Monday afternoon, brought both their dirt bikes and dualsport bikes and wanted to get five days in of riding, and I'm just the guy to do that. After imbibing for the evening we awoke on Tuesday morn bright eyed and bushy tailed. We loaded up and headed towa...

Pre-entries are all updated! Sorry for the delay, was out -- riding!
-Tom
PS: single track - yes!

Of course!

In Summary Since I had earplugs in, I was sleeping okay and the Mucinex was allowing me to breathe. I was awakened early in the morning by Bill grabbing my foot and I came up swinging, much to his and Tiny's entertainment! We loaded up the bikes in Bill's trailer and pointed Tiny's pickup north. I ...
