Crappy Riding year

I was never able to fix either son's motorcycles
It took over 5 month to get a part from Honda that was on backorder
so we only got in 3 rides including the one where both of their bikes broke

First ride of the year

We went for the first ride of the year yesterday. I thought I knew where I was going once we got out on the trail, but only seem to go around in circles. We never made it to the waterfall that the boys like to go to. But we did get 32 miles in, which is not bad for the first ride. My back is feeling it right now.

Snow

Well we were hoping to go riding soon, but woke up this morning and it was snowing.
Not that it was unexpected, it is Idaho weather.
Until the end of may snow is always a chance.
So I guess I just work on the motorcycles and trailer today

It has been a while

I did not realize that it had been back till June when I last posted.
The boys bikes were broken most of the summer.
So not much riding.

New Riding Season

The snow finally receded enough to allow riding on the trails.
Me and the boys went up to Fall Creek.
We did the same old loop.
We did put 50 miles on the bikes.
Which is not bad for the first ride of the year.
I took a couple headers on some hairpin turns that were rutted out.
Good thing I had a helmet on.
My youngest son got his bike stuck in the creek at the bottom of the canyon.
There was about 2 ft of silt in the creek.
It was a pain in the ass.

Kellys to Driggs

Well, it has been a while since I was able to go riding. The weather and work just would not cooperate.

Some of the guys from work and I went on a "big-boy" ride. Right at 80 miles in one day.
We rode from Kelly Canyon ski area over to Driggs, ID. The picture is me at the top of Garns Mt. In the background you can see the Grand Tetons. Spectacular view from up here. Theride was not as hard as everyone was saying. I think my sons can make this easily. The only tough part was the last 200 yards or such to this point. There was a lot of large rocks. Only one of the guys ate it there. His back tire caught a rock and over the handlebar he went.

Thunderstorms

I was hoping to put up a new post of a great all day ride. At least That is what I have been told. The problem is that there has been thunderstorms and rain the last three days. Currently, radar shows that it is pouring over in the mountains we were going to ride in. May be on my next set of days off.
