Leaving 8-9am - back at 5pm.

I would say Alma or Emporia (Flint Hills) or Stover/Gravios/Warsaw MO or Leavenworth/Atchison/Kickapoo KS area...but depends on who else wants to go, their skill level, how much rain places get Friday - (enough for fun or just a mess?).

PM me.

Topeka ATV Park is great for big bike running around. It was dry an not too crowded when Mesgr and I hit the place at 10am. For those looking for a good place to practice riding a bigger bike in a rough stuff for like Colorado(?), I would say this is it. (I don't know how it compares with Perry for 500# wallowing whales.) It was dry even right to the sandy areas, I could see the lower areas being hell when wet with all those holes. Your fine up top alone just jumping stuff, but if you going into the woods for practice take a friend. Crash bars help too. :roll:

Alma - they had been doing work on the roads. Even Divide was a cleaned up a bit. Box Turtle was, well Box Turtle, but I still think someone was cleaning up more than just the downhill exit. The entrance area looked down right inviting not brushed over. Bodark was scrapped clean and the guy with the gear was there on Dragoon Creek doing it as well. :x

But it was a great day and the roads, if not very technical, where very scenic. 350 miles, at least half paved. Hope everyone had a good one.
