I just love having this in my backyard. We did truck the bike up a ways but could have hit all this from my house pretty easy. Had a great time, did almost 100 miles and did not even get started til after 1. Both bikes did great. My 511 is so fun on these rides and the Nomad tank gives it 115 plus mile range. FUN! - I'll be better prepared next time as we missed a bunch of stuff cuz I did not have the right maps loaded on my GPS nor paper maps. I now have some killer loops to check out next time.
I miss not having a house in the gorge. Nothing like the access to forest land and usually all to yourself. Just can't get a grip on 2004-2014 prices of houses. In '88 a bunch of us bought places for $75k
I see you are still riding that Kenda 270.............a surprisingly great tire for the money...............and just fine on the tarmac also.
great dualsport tire. tough and long lasting. Traction is just Ok though. Good enough and does not do anything stupid.
