5 Year Anniversary Ride!! Saturday Nov 14th

I think I will be there also Saturday morning.

Ill be there in the morning.  Ill be sure to bring my helmet just in case we ride in burning rock.

It's gonna be a nice day, but cold if this wind keeps up.  Dress warm.

Have fun guys and be careful.

its time for fun!!!

I just want to say thanks for the help on the trail today and sorry for holding up everybody. I rushed home and jacked it up and both sides were the same. I just installed both axels last week "brand new"....That led me to pull an axel out and check it next to my old ones.  Just as I thought...WRONG F%&KING AXELS ....around 1 inch shorter, the bearing surface and spline area were different also. 1 foot away you couldn't tell them apart. My fault for not comparing before I installed them.  Oh well, that was an expensive mistake. I don't think they will do anything about it since I ran them.

Any how, I had a great time Friday night at Git r dun's camp fire. Lots of adult beverages and a great bullshit session with some great people.   See ya'll on the trail later on and I will have my junk RIGHT the next time.

Where did y'all go. I want someone to show me how to get to wagon wheel from burning rock.

Roger, I didn't get but about 5 miles in. I'm no help brother.

That's what we did Saturday.  It was just over 20 miles from BR to the gas station at Bud.  I couldn't believe it, I thought it would be a much longer distance than that.  Oh, and there's more than one way to get there.  Me, Geterdun, and Finzup got lost and found another way back that was quick and had a couple good trails on it also.

Man that really sucks about you axles Rayray.  Atleast you got it figured out.  If I were you I would go ahead and slap some new wheel bearings in the rear while you are in there.  Those axles flopping around in them wasn't good for them.

Let me try one of those JIMBOB ride recaps.  Rode from Burning Rock to Wagon Wheel, it was a real good ride with some good people and the trails were fun.  Geterdun broke something in the front Friday, so he rode with me all day.  Finally someone who has the balls to get in with me.  His big cooler in the passenger side really helped me get around those right hand turns.   Rayray had his problems with those wrong axles some goober sold him.  Someone had a flat tire, someone else had a flat tire, then we got to Rider's Paradise for some food and to warm up.  I almost fell asleep in there.  We headed back and that's when things got weird.  Finz was right behind me so I go to the next intersection like always and no Finzup?  James went to the rescue and found that Finz had a screw loose or maybe something about a control arm loose.  Me and Geterdun don't remember going through all that water because the Rhino steamed up the cab so bad through those creeks that we couldn't see anything.  It looked like Cheech and Chong in that thing.  After that for some reason people could not seem to wait on the person behind them, or keep up with the person in front for whatever reason. ??  Me and Finz waited to make sure those in the rear could see where we went then we took off and got lost.  Those behind us didn't see us I don't recon, so they stayed put and James went back to get them.  Geterdun knocked on some guys door to get directions, and once we took off they didn't help a whole lot because there were way more forks in the trail that what the guy had mentioned.  We went down this goat path and found Devil's Fork Rd, and knew that's where Rayray had troubles, so we ran out it and hit the pavement back.  Yes, I had a GPS, but it was here at the house..

Geterdun said he had the time of his life not tearing his stuff up, getting to look around, and drink plenty in the passenger seat.  Looked like everyone had a real good time and few laughs.

Almost forgot, Bobby D got a blister on his lip from somewhere, but I'm not gonna mention it.

Yeah Hump, that's what sux. Those were new bearings also. Everything will go back new for sure. I hate I missed the ride. Sounds like it was awesome. What time did ya'll get back?

About 9,  you know how it goes.  Atleast on every ride I go on all hell breaks loose as soon as it gets dark out.  Maybe it's just me and I'm bad luck.  I'm just glad we didn't have to spend the night out there because it was cold.
