The wild flower:
All The BSn & Refreshin... I'm good with all that ..OH YEAH!!.
It's jus the sleepin & the early morning ride to the showers that got me.
I guess I'm just a cushy ol fart.
.... OH....& the geese at 4am.... !huh
Wait a minute Rod! The geese were part of the camping initiation, you didn't pass!
Those weren't geese -- those were the snipes.
Probably a bunch of them young fellows that we need to take snipe hunting.
Yup, and cover yer seat with Nauga-Hide......
Dirt Ride Day 2
It would be hard to top the first day but we certainly tried!
A repeat performance by vfaame and shermandns were joined by Jorge, DRZBRI and Twofingzen on his first dirt foray. Learning from our previous day we stopped after a few dirt miles in Oxford to check for loose fasteners.

Then it was off to a well known dual sport destination, Click, as most of the group had not been there.

Off to Harry's on the Loop for our first break.
Almost to our lunch stop in Castell we huddled under minimal shade on Hickory Creek.
After a belly full of BBQ we were tempted to join the locals for a swim in the Llano.

Pressed for time we hurried back for the group photo and closing ceremony.

Y'know, this weekend was way fun! I enjoyed meeting so many people. Now, watching all the pictures and crazy videos, I'm wondering if I couldn't be a little more adventurous on my Strom.
Does anybody here change from street-oriented to more dirt-oriented tires for events like this, or do you just run what you brung? The reason I ask is -- as much as I've enjoyed watching the videos of the dirt runs and in particular the James River crossing, I'm not sure I could have handled that on an Anakee 2, particularly one down to its last 1000 miles of tread.
I ran the whole time with Anakee 3's including the James River Crossing.
