WW ride 04/26/14

Planning to ride outlaws Sat anyone riding

I have been kicking around the idea of heading up that way! Where are you riding out of and what time are you going?

Suppose to work this Saturday

Plan to head out about 9 or 10 am from blue building above motaka

Ross let me know if interested just the wife and I and I hate to ride alone

I can definitely ride on Saturday. I know Matoaka but have only been to the blue building by way of trails and I don't know the outlaw trails! Where is it by road? According to the waypoints, the blue building is on the other side of Ashland...quite a ways from Matoaka. Is that the same blue building?

Will you drive up sat morning? Same blue building. 8 miles from Motaka by paved road. 10 miles from asheland by dirt road/trail

Yes, I will be driving up Saturday morning. It takes me about 3 hours to get to Matoaka so it's not a big deal. 8 miles from Matoaka is a breeze.....just show me where it is. I am coming from VA so if I end up passing through Matoaka on the way you can just direct me from there.

Ross Blue building I'm refering to is Country Roads Grocery not the maintenance shed. We stay there a some when we ride. 37.454033,-81.305005 since you are driving in that morning I could meet you in Matoaka where Bobby usally parks if you like.

That sounds great! I will see you at Matoaka! I am going to pull out of my house around 6am so I should hit Matoaka about 9:15-9:30.

Cool deal text me if any changes. Phone recept sucks there but text usually comes through

OK, got your number entered in my phone!

Had a great ride, at least the first 4 hours! Went on some really fun trails I had never been on! Then it happened....the unrepairable flat tire 40 miles from the trucks. After 4 more hours we were all loaded up and heading home. JD, I had no idea that S &S was just 10 miles down 52. We could have taken the tire off, had a new tire mounted, and been back on the trails in about an hour. I did buy 2 new rear tires on my way out.

hey where is sxs on 52 in case i have an emergency when im up?thanx

Right there is Northfork. He's on the edge of town close to where you turn to go to Ashland Resort. Super nice guy!

We never thought of that. I had heard they were out of bussiness but now remember seeing them on Facebook. I added them to my phone just in case. 
We did have a great day even with the flat. The girls had enough talk time I think to cement a real friendship and I got to take you on a 40 mile hell ride. I have never ridden without Janet and was expecting a punch in my shoulder in a few of those corners.

Ross I'm glad you guys liked the same type trails we do especially the tight technical stuff. So many riders whine about the limb smackers and rock crawling I always here it's rough on the machine but we always run into the ride gremlins on the smooth wide trails. Just like Sunday on the main Welch trail.

I would like to get together again in the near future and do that same 40 we start off on and then continue the ride. There was one section where we were straddling a rather sizable gully/ditch going up a wooded hill and had to keep switch back and forth to get up the hill...the wife can't stop talking about that one! Had a great time!
