Offroad: 4x4, Quad and Singletrack on my RX3

fjmartin · 02-26-2017, 02:41 PM

I went out with a group of guys for some dirt riding. We had a bunch of cool bikes. KTM 950, 990, Huskie 350, couple of DR650's, XT250 and others. I was on my RX3. After my Rawhyde training experience I felt a little more ready to tackle tougher terrain than I'd done before at the Tahuya ORV Park in Tahuya, WA. Weather was cold at the start...31 but worked it way up to 43. I started with my heated gear but as the day progressed I kept removing layers and was mostly too hot all day. It was dry from above and mostly sunny but winter had left it's watery mark upon the ground. I crashed once which was captured on from helmet camera and my rearward facing cam. Zero damage to the bike. Good times. Enjoy!

You've come such a long way Joe, congratulations.

Over the decades I've known a number of avid cyclists and have heard them say, on certain stretches, that they would have liked a motor.

I've never heard a biker say they wish they had pedals.

I still like my bicycles and pedaling but am very happy doing both. Also being in shape from the cycling has it's advantages. The guys took lots of rest breaks and I never felt tired.

That looks like a ton of fun!
