Yelr chicks are the brightest if not fastest color...

Looks like a beaut of a day and roads were clean and as good as it gets within 150 miles of Chicago.

BTW, in Observed Trials, you'd loose 3 points for the foot tab and maybe they'd overlook crossing the yelr lines!

foot tab was to warn me (the video'er) of gravel

and a cramp in my buddies arm didn't help his lines at the end of the video.

We had already covered 300 miles that day, I still thought we threw down pretty decent.

But rule number 2 is "no excuses" lol.

What a blast!

I put my foot down in that corner cause it was full of gravel and wanted my bud to miss it too. I was completely exhausted by the end of that run. Both of my arms were cramped. We had done 1400+ miles in the 5 days before this run.

Had a huge tank bag, and maybe 30lbs of the gear on the tail too. lol!

Epic ride!!!!!

About 60 miles west on 26 from Portland. Other more round about ways to get there of course.

headed NE on 53 is better then SW which if you come from HW 26 you will be headed SW so we take it slow turn around and blast it the fun direction. This time though we where already coming from HW 101 so we where pointed the fun way to begin with.

looks like a great run !

towards the bottom of hwy 53 turn south on miami foley rd !
then when running back to the top of 53 to hwy 26 turn on hwy 103 ( fishhawk falls ), then hwy 202... you can then run up & over the tail of the dragon ( hwy 47 )

epic riding.

I love it! The sleeping bag tells me that dude is going somewhere cool and having fun getting there.

(Although I did 160 with 2 sleeping bags on my bike, so pick up the pace!
