Title: No ride to report
Post by: GreenMachine on March 24, 2016, 09:13:15 AM
Just an update on riding dirt in general.  I think I'm ready to get back in the saddle, on a limited C pace basis, as you can tell by my other road riding threads.  I'm finding that riding is therapeutic.   ;)

Good to have you back in the dirt.  I'm always up for a moderate ride.

There should be more moisture in the forecast for next week, so depending on what happens, maybe the following weekend for a bit.  No rock waterfalls, but some semi-technical stuff might work to loosen the ol' body up.

Rock waterfalls is all I ride.

I need to go back and try that little step up you took us on a while back, I'm guessing it would go a lot smoother now on the KTM.

I'm thinking mud riding won't be on my short list if things to do this weekend.  Hadn't expected it to snow as much as it did.

Didn't snow much down south. It was pretty dusty last weekend. Might just be perfect this weekend. Supposed to warm to the 50s then 60s starting tomorrow.

Scott maybe you should come back down for another crack at J.Lane. I'll keep an eye on conditions.

I was surprised how much we got here in Reno, my yard is still fully covered in a couple inches even in spots that get full sun but it's still a bit cool once temps rise I'm sure it'll disappear fast.

I've been making a point to go back to sections that I struggled with on the YZ and so far I've been able to do them all with ease on the KTM. I'd love to get back out there and give some of those sections another go, let me know how the conditions work out.

If that's what you like you NEED to go ride downieville. Rattlesnake is the nastiest section of beat down I've ever seen and I loved every bit of it. Btw, you'll be doing nasty waterfall stuff but with a cliff on one side. Makes it much more interesting!
