Nueces Canyon+ Adventure ride II, November 13th & 14th

sanderjavant · Nov 14, 2010

The weather turned out almost perfect.

We couldn't find our way to Cypress Creek Rd once off 187. We roamed around and may have found the right road after searching for an hour or so but by that time some hunters showed up so we decided to try another day. If anyone has the GPS tracks for it I would appreciate you sending them to me.

Among others we did Seco Creek, N. Little Creek to B&R, then Kent Creek, ran into RG, John and another rider down in the creek bed. Then back up 336 to Bullhead Rd. Today Cedar Creek and White Mountain, Hackberry Rd, back up Bullhead, and lastly Seco Creek again.

Man we have some great roads to ride in the hill country, paved and dirt.

Oh, and what a joke Timbercat wanting to ride in the slow group. What a sandbagger, he can ride!

Yeah I tried to get him to cross like everyone else but the buck told me he didn't want to cross the slimy concrete. Several years ago he fell down and the other deer started calling him, MossDeer...

It was great having the Houston riders make the trip west. Super nice people and great riders. Hope to get over ur way and ride the big piney soon. Let me know when you next head that way :clap:

Multisurface Rider · Nov 15, 2010

Glad to see you had fun, wish I could have made it.

Mossrider · Nov 15, 2010

I look at

#8#9#10 & 11 and i can taste the dust. :rider:

Taztzu · Nov 15, 2010

Wish that I would have been able to make it. Looks like a lot of fun.

Thank you for posting the routes, I will have to try them out next time I am down that way.

Trailace · Nov 15, 2010

After our workout Doctor Z and I headed west.

What Dust?

First of many water crossing.

Whats wrong with this picture?

I know I had all these tools in there but how come they won't fit now? LOL

This was fun

Its lots of fun in the back.

Gravity can be a real pain in the butt. Bill was okay but he landed hard had some minor cuts on his hands and maybe a broken toe.

Numbers for day one.

We all had breakfast at Sisters in Camp Wood (good food)

Overnight Bill's hands swelled up as well his foot he decided it would be best if he call it Quits for this weekend. Doesn't matter how good a rider you are sooner or later you will go down. (Richard is a good rider) His wife came and picked him up she was great.

More water

More gravity issues :rofl:

Doctor Z and I had to cut off early due to a bearing issue. DZ road 92 miles on a bad bearing and this is what I look like when we got to the truck. Ouch

All my pic's

Hi Guys,
I had a great time, thanks for the memories. Can't wait till next time. Got to go due some family issues. V>>>

A.Vern · Nov 15, 2010

Looks like a great time!

So when is the next one? :rider:

_RG_ · Nov 15, 2010

Thanks for the great pix and report. Surely a pleasure to meet the Nueces gang...and what better place for a bunch of DS'ers to stop and visit than the scruffiest part of Kent Creek road. We'll all cross paths again. :rider:

Mossrider · Nov 15, 2010

RG - Was that bizarre or what ? It was mostly COOL ! :rider:

Mossrider · Nov 15, 2010

Special thank's to Jbay for having an extra 650l clutch lever :clap:

You saved the day Jbay

Am sure VANCEALOT appreciate's it :pray:

bsheet2 · Nov 15, 2010

Thanks for all the pics guys. They are great! Looks like my brother in Okla. is gonna come down soon and we intend to ride that area. He looked at your pics last night and was so pumped said he couldn't sleep last night! He is 56 years young and last night was like a 6 year old on Christmas eve. LOL

I was really bummed I could not ride this weekend with you guys.But life just gets in the way sometimes. Looks like you had a great ride. Hope Richard is ok. Any update?? That will make this novice take it easy.

Mossrider · Nov 15, 2010

Just a clarification: It was me (Bill, not Richard) on the blue 2008 KLR that went down on Saturday afternoon. I actually ended up with one dislocated toe, 1 broken toe, and 3 broken bones in my left hand and 2 in my right hand. Seemed like a lot of damage for such a small crash. That's more damage than I ever did in my younger days as a Pro Motocross racer in Southern California circa 1965-1975... Oh well, I'd do the ride again in a heartbeat. I should be back in riding shape in 3-4 weeks or whenever they take (or I cut) the casts off. Looking forward to our next dual-sport ride.

OK I'm starting to plan the "Bill back on a bike ride"
