Great ride. Thanks, Larry. Tons of Minimum Maintanance Road on Larry's loop. It was rutted and sunbaked and dusty. Three Lawrence riders (Chris G., David H. and David O.) put about 230 miles on the clock, and two KC riders (Mike and Todd) probably had more than 300. It was overcast in the morning an...

It sounds like maybe my time estimates caused a bit of confusion. I just try to just give folks a rough idea of what the ride is going to be like. I’m not trying to schedule the whole thing out in detail. I try to be a little conservative. We’ve all done these rides enough to know that arrival times...

OK, this is all coming together just right. Larry’s going to show us around the area east of Tuttle Creek Lake and NW of St. Mary’s. This is going to be a long day, around 250 miles round trip from Lawrence, I’m guessing about 12 hours of riding. It will be a brisk pace, but not blistering. I have b...

Hi. I’m back in the saddle after a couple years off. Just kid stuff, nothing dramatic. Let’s ride… from Lawrence to St. Mary’s and back. Sunday, May 30, 2010 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM GPS Routes Posted in Later Post. Start and end at the North Lawrence Burger King, 1100 North 3rd Street, Lawrence, KS 66044...

Muffler's all buttoned up now, professional like. Despite your avatar, my turn signal still hangs limp. But I never use it anyway.

So, who's ready to get dusty? There will be dust on this ride, right?

The time is right. Let's roll. But look, that diner in Wathena sucks. They don't have anything good. And the waitress has meth mouth. Let's go to Paolucci's in Atcheson for lunch. Everybody loves that place. We got like thirty guys in there last time. Man, the marinara sauce with sausage, that's the...

Garmin 276C http://www.cycoactive.com/gps/default.htm Biggest, brightest display. Fast re-draw. Good battery. Compact, durable. Proven. If you ride remote areas, it's worth every penny of $520. Ask anyone who owns one! I highly recommend doing business with Cycoactive, they are the motorcycle GPS ex...

Wicked.

Don't drop it in the mud along Stranger Creek, though.

That was a MUCH bigger turnout than I expected. I figured maybe five or ten guys would show up. We have to start posting these rides two weeks in advance. Paolucci's was a blast. Great meeting a bunch of guys I only know from screennames. 225 miles. Pretty much rode the entire intended route, minus ...

Estimated Time of Arrival at Kickapoo, Kansas: 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM.

Let me be the first to speak publicly in support of Troy's new Rainbow avatar. It is a like breath of fresh air, or maybe rich exhaust. I see all the colors of the diverse Dual Sport Nation represented: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and the beloved Orange. Troy, you are an inspiration, a Uniter, a vision...

Orange, brother man. You know my baby wears orange! You should see it when that ribbon flaps in the wind, Austrian style. She barks and it sounds like an Akropovich exhaust. Sweet!

I've learned some expensive lessons in my day. One of them is: never ride on what is ambiguously posted as Private Property. I'm not talking about those guys that put up signs on the side of the road that try to intimidate people from travelling on public roads. I'm talking about gates, maybe even o...

It's good to see some enthusiasm for this ride. I guess it pays for the leader to post two weeks ahead. North Lawrence Burger King couldn't be easier to find. That's why we're meeting there. It certainly isn't for the food. If you eat there, I don't like your chances of finishing this ride. Get on I...

Dude. I can't believe that somebody who is forever preaching "More Cowbell!" is trying to score points on this Board by disrespecting my sweet little Sally. That pooch is no lazy lapdog. She's a gritty gravel traveller. Wait till I show up with her perched on my rear rack. Then you will know. She ca...

Joe:
I have a computer problem and I can't Email it any time soon. But I have a better idea. Let's do the ride Saturday, June 16. Epic 250 mile loop starting in Lawrence. Any interest? Anybody?

It was a good day on the gravel. Dave O. "The Electrician" and I rode from 10 AM to 5 PM, 150 miles. Lawrence to Tonganoxie to Easton to Kickapoo to Atcheson on the River Road. Reverse to return to Lawrence. We rode fast. Conditions: Sunny, blue skies, 80 degrees. Dusty. You would think the recent r...

05/26/07 was so much fun, we want to do it again and again. Sure, it's short notice, but here goes... Does anybody want to ride Sunday 06/03/07 at 9:00 AM starting from the North Lawrence Burger King parking lot? It's 100 yards southeast of Interstate 70, Exit 204, "East Lawrence Exit". Burger King ...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
