NOTE: Route in this link has been corrected per Stu's later post.
If coming from the KC metro, here are directions from Legends to Benders.
You can see the trails, track, etc in this satellite image.

Re: Jan. 21 (Sun.) Ride

Argh....I want to come, too, but my wife is out of town this weekend and I have my daughter. I'm looking forward to daddy/daughter weekend, though.

It may work out for me to ride School Creek on Saturday, though, because her aunt may watch her for a few hours Sat.

Re: Jan 13-16, 2012: Winter Bald Eagle Ride

If it helps someone to go on the ride, I have a size L insulated riding suit and/or my heated jacket and gloves to loan for the weekend. I'm heading to Tulsa about noon tomorrow (Fri), so you'd want to contact me today. 913.669.0958

Re: Jan 13-16, 2012: Winter Bald Eagle Ride

Sorry for the forum outage, folks. The servers became overwhelmed when thousands of you tried to reply to this very popular thread. I had to add 10 more servers and quadruple the bandwidth to handle the load. :wink: Seriously, though, I will be unable to join you for this ride, but I have a really g...

Re: WUDI

Hey, Jim! For those that don't know, WUDI is a gnarly off-road ride event in Arkansas. This year it is scheduled over the April Fool's weekend. It's sort of invitation-only, but I suppose anyone is free to ask to be part of it. I've never attended a WUDI, but have been aware of the ride for a few ye...

Re: Checking in from MN

Hey Mike! Strange timing--just yesterday evening I was thinking about you and wondering how things are going for you and your family. I love you, man! (In a totally non-gay way, but not like that would be bad or anything.) :) Lots of the guys who enjoy the gnarly stuff are signing up for WUDI. (Apri...

Re: Jan 13-16, 2012: Winter Bald Eagle Ride

I would really like to be in on this ride. However, if I had any thought that I could keep up with either Troy or Eddie I would be fooling myself Phil, it aint a race! Just road riding. 8) Buddy, I would kill to ride with you guys... :shock: Noted. All, if you hear about any murders in the near fut...

Re: Perry Saturday Jan. 7 Ride?

Rick, I don't think anyone took any photos, but I did see one of the guys from Wichita had a GoPro video camera mounted on his chest protector. I'll echo what Harv said. Really good time! Thank you, Stu! Stu, please pass along thanks to your buddy--David is it? When you left to lead the dead bike ba...

Re: Perry Saturday Jan. 7 Ride?

DOH! I forgot that I broke my clutch lever off at Randolph last Sat! ...and I don't have the spare I thought I did. Surely one of you guys has a spare clutch lever to fit my EXC 450? :?: Please let me know: 913.669.0958 I'm going to call Letko when they open and I'll stop there on the way if they ha...

Re: Perry Saturday Jan. 7 Ride?

I plan to come school you guys this Saturday at Perry. I'll start off with a skills demonstration to give you a taste of what's possible if you train hard and are blessed with natural riding talent like me. I'll then provide small group training sessions where hopefully some of my awesomeness will r...

Bob, Stu is going to ride Perry, the ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) area at Perry Lake. So it's a haul to the riding area and run through the trees kind of thing.

At this point, I need to play it by ear, too. Sure hate to miss a warm riding weekend in winter.

Re: Riding at Randolph (Tuttle Creek) Saturday December 31st

Had a great time today! At first, I was disappointed because it was soupy muddy. But, we found some better parts to ride and by afternoon with the heat and wind, it was a lot more dried up. Kyle grilled some great burgers and dogs. It was really nice to see xr-nut and family, Matt & family, and Rick...

Re: Jan 13-16, 2012: Winter Bald Eagle Ride

Thanks for the overview, Eddie. To echo Eddie, this is part of what "adventure" riding is about. Whether the ride goes according to plan or not, it will be an adventure, so be ready to go with the flow. However, IF we don't get frozen out of going, there are some things we know with some certainty. ...

Re: What GPS to purchase??

Something I found out the hard way. If you want to add City Navigator buy the CD. Do NOT purchase the downloaded version. The downloaded version goes directly to the GPSr and not the computer. You can only use the City Nav maps on your computer when your GPSr is connected to the computer. With the ...
