DS emphasis (only gravel)? Off-road emphasis (i.e., knobbies)? Hard surface speeds (above 60~65 MPH)? Gas up points (half way or less)? Take a lunch or get something on the way?
Free State HS is only about 5 blocks from my house.

Stu, From my experience, Mark's rides have few "technical" sections. Pavement speeds are usually the posted limit (55-60) and lunch and gas are figured in. Basically, a nice ride in the country...........

Yes. And they have speed bumps so ride your dirt bike with care. Wouldn't want you to get tossed off your saddle.

No comments on this ride? Good times, there was a few problems. I had fun and that's all that counts. I'm ready for another one. I'm a racer and Mark said this wasn't a race, I was a little disappointed. Sorry for H. Mushman and Dan if I accidently roosted you on the corners. I thought we were flattracking for some reason.

There's always one guy in the group that just can't behave and before you know it, they send the "hallway monitor" back to keep an eye on you.
Mark had a great route and carried a good pace. Talking with Jim L' is always a blast from the past. Wabunsee county + a Dual Sport + good guys = Good times.
