I was thinking the same thing this morning.... The Husky still has a lot of dried mud on it from my last Arkansas adventure/crash into large mud hole. Remember if you ever go done there and see a large rock in the middle of the trail it means slow down
I'm heading out to the KU football game now and I haven't cleared this with the boss yet. I will try to post when I get home. It might be an afternoon ride for me and likely no more than a couple of hours.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Go KU!

We will meet at the 7-11 in Leavenworth on the north side of town at noon. It's on K-7 right across the street from the gate to the fort.
We plan to have lunch at an italian place in atchison.We don't know if it is open on sundays.
Don't forget about day light savings.

Thanks for the pictures and report, really! I was able to get one of the XRs out to ride with a friend around 1:00 PM. We rode just over 100 miles, about half gravel, North and east of Liberty, between Richmond and Polo, kinda of. Got back around 4:30.

Nice pics Bad Company, I thought real hard about joining you all, laziness won out. I drove up yesterday and had catfish with some ADV guys at Rulo, Nebraska. They didn't razz me too bad about driving up in the truck. I was gone last weekend for the arkansas fall colors tour but you guys got to see prettier fall colors today.
Today's schedule was pretty hectic, slept thru the second attempt at watching Wild Hogs and watched Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer and just got back from the grocery store.

Fatburg & I meant to hook up with guys in Leavenworth or Atchison, but plans got modified a bit after church. We ended up leaving KC around 2pm I think and hit the River Rd. We hit that small quarry, and I thought I saw fresh motorcycle tracks!
Glad you guys had fun, too!
Btw, the entrance to the small quarry is here:

There is a much larger quarry with tons of trails just South of this one, BUT, it is heavily posted and the entrance has both a gate and huge boulders barring entrance.

Thanks for the report. That looks like a fun ride. I have ridden with Dave before. He can get around on that bike of his.
