Man it's quiet in here. Wasn't anybody out doing some cool rides this weekend?

Here Ryan Young demonstrates wheelie technique to lift the front wheel over obstacles. Notice the push on the handlebars, not the "yank back" method that's often used. Very smooth.

Well I went for a ride alright.  Left the house on Friday night at 6:30.  Drove all night, except a nap in Billings and another nap somewhere and was in Great Falls, MT by 7:30 the next morning.  Met a guy selling his 2004 T-dub w/600 miles.  You know I'm a sucker for TWs.  I have to be to drive all night and then turn around and drive back home by 7:30 Saturday night.  That's my trip report, 25 hours and 1200 miles of.....well I don't remember much other than start and finish!

Went into the woods on saturday. Was pretty sloppy and still lots of snow out by custer peak. Mostly dirt road riding and overall screwing around. If anyone is in the Lead Deadwood area and wants to know where the cool stuff is, let me know!!
