Flagpole trail ride....

This was a short loop of only 30km... I done 2

but it had a bit of everything... mud bogs/ slippery muddy climps

& desents / forestry tracks with those loverly slippery roots /

dry fast sections / snow..had a light dusting over night higher up...

That's the way a TTR should look Pete. Nice to see some more mud from the other side of the world wink

Cracking video - thanks for sharing.

What a great loop!

The going looks a lot like some of the wilder parts of Devon such as Dartmoor and Exmoor biggrin

 It was quite a fun ride..... I mainly done the non competitive nana ride on that one...

Yer wireing loom arrived.... spend a day striping the TTR out to it's bare bones...

Get it ready for another ride on the 20th...

Be interesting to see how much weight it loses.... prob not that much..

was a great ride for the first 15 or so km....
came over rise at about 30kph.... open gate
with a sharp turn into some trees... so i hit the brakes
rear wheel went to the right on the grass... then griped
bike high sided... I done a real good bird impression
for about a second.... sholders are not good to land on..
with my sore sholder.. a few km on I was on the deck again...
front wheel in a rut this time at about the same speed on
a down hill... now my sholder was real sore... hardly use my left
arm.... still had the 2ft logs to get over...

I'm going to pay for it 2morrow...

now the pics... hopefuly Dent had his Gopro.. may beable to get a vid up

bare bones TTR250
