We are thinking about heading back over on the 13th for another ride around and maybe get out to west bar this time. Let me know if you would like to join us.

Some friends and I rode to west bar and then to the quilomene bar on Sat. It's about 80 miles round trip. Great day, I just forget how rough it is out there is some spots, especially when you're trying for some speed. Thanks for the invite but I work that weekend. It's nice and green out there right now.

Paul, we had a good time out there on the 13th but noticed that the Brushy road had an old "closed" sign on it at the head end, us not knowing a different rout took it and it popped out on that corner of the where Little brushy meets Brushy. My sat nav was telling me road names different from the DNR paper map. It was calling Little Brushy, Perkins Rd. That screwed me up on the way down. We ended up taking Little Brushy/Perkins back to avoid the closed Brushy Rd we we all think that Brushy is a little smoother then the other. The wife did have some trouble with some of those larger rocks but she battled thru it. :awesomework:

An adventure is always fun. Brushy used to go between Little Brushy (Rd 14) and Crossover Rd (Rd 13) which starts at the head of Caribou canyon. Little bushy is the one that goes to the west bar and has a lot of rocks on it. Perkins is south of little brushy. I hope you have a steering stabilizer. That's one thing nice about bikes, it's easier to do a little "off the beaten path" exploring. I used to have a little xt 225 in high school/college that I used to explore most of the trails/roads around here. When you got on little brushy did you head to the river or drop into the little canyon with the apple trees? That little canyon has some decent rocks to watch out for.

No steering stab yet, it was a bit rough but not too bad. We came back through the canyon with the apple trees in it at the bottom. Thats a nice looking little park area down in the bottom of that thing. I never felt lost at any time with the map and the sat nav but it was odd that they never jived on road names. Oh well.
