Re: Cool videos

Into The Dust Larry Janesky and his son Tanner team up to face the challenge of a lifetime: one thousand miles of unforgiving landscape in the Baja 1000 - the longest non-stop race in the world. Two men, one bike, 25+ hours of relentless battle against fatigue, sleep deprivation, and the elements. ...

Re: 7th Manhattan Fun Ride May 6th 2017

Looks like you all had a BLAST! What a great weekend for it, too. Surprised to see dust flying at Luc's--must not have received all the rain we did in S Overland Park.

Maybe get enough traffic on the grass track to start seeing some berms. 8-)

Re: HanesAnizer says hello from Louisville, Kentucky...

HA! Thanks for checking in, Mike! Trails there look like less rocks than we got in the Ozark and St. Francis, but still plenty rocky and lots of roots.

Glad to see you are getting some riding in. Was that video playback at half speed or are you that old now? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :-D

Miss you, brother!

Flat Track and TT Racing at KC Raceway

A friend sent me this: There is a new Flat Track and TT track in KC on the east side of town. I actually went to the facility a while back. Kind of reminds you of KCI back in the day. It rained on practice day a couple of weeks ago, so it will be new to me Saturday as I plan on giving it a try. I pl...

Re: Swinging Bridges Ride May 6-7

Been there. Done that. Good stuff. The bridges are going away--at least one of the original swinging bridges that was part of this ride is gone now.

Re: GPS - Advice for the New guy?

I think that would be cool. I always learn new tricks from others. Beraga's in Greenwood has a big ass party room on the second floor that we could use for free. You'll need your GPS to find it. http://www.barrigaskc.com/images/name.png http://www.barrigaskc.com/ https://www.google.com/maps/place/B...

Re: GPS - Advice for the New guy?

I do pay the annual fee for RideWithGPS to unlock all the features. I feel I easily get my ROI. A buddy & I are toying with riding the "Heart of the West Adventure Route" this year--a 2,800 mile loop through CO, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY. http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/heart-of-the-west-adv-roundabo...

Re: GPS - Advice for the New guy?

Agree--the Montana is a very popular choice. I also think Jengel451 needs to lead me on some favorite trails in the mountains! You don't have to convert to KML to import into Basecamp. Basecamp directly imports and exports GPX. I had a really hard time converting from Garmin's Mapsource to Basecamp ...

Re: GPS - Advice for the New guy?

I don't have the time or energy to write up a full memory dump, but, a couple of paths I can recommend. I am very happy with my Garmin GPSMAP 78. It's actually one designed for boats, so it floats...and it has the same features and power as the 62, but $100 less. If you know a Garmin employee, their...

On a 730 mile ride with Eddie this past weekend, I took this photo somewhere in Arkansas...or was it Missouri?! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jlNIaQUO0t_GysiYWK8PEyL0teCc5Yfm2Oy09xK3KeX_Spbmcl2mQjYgrnolBo6aI-wCL-Jz-wuh6S_4DQ8flmIAGtvTHe0cojQMOi7AV_XgNVS8xlsyJHvMMeoJ2r3GKFzG_G0qOVED1Eg5mnyq2T3PO...
