Response to We got some white stuff! You get any good rides?

 

I rode tonight from Oregon (east) to Chana, south to Ashton, over to Franklin Creek State park, then back up north to Oregon. Total loop was about 45 miles. We still have our trails marked over there, and there is 4-5" of snow on the ground. If anybody has ridden that route, you know that it's a lot of marked ditches, so there is not much to rip up. Carthage Rd. is gravel and unplowed as of 11 pm Friday night, so it was like an interstate - 70-80 mph. I even found a small pond on Rt. 38 west of Ashton to practice the water cross skills. The route should be ridable on Saturday AM before the Sun gets too high in the sky. On the west side of Oregon the gates on the trails are locked up because of the ATV's ripping them up and those trails are closed.

RIDE 'TIL IT MELTS!
