I had laid out a track using Google Earth and according the GPS, I was about halfway through. Lots of spiders through here - did I mention I hate spiders [:@]

And out the other side ...




This is where I was targeting for joining the two trail sections. This is actually an old road that is overgrown - a high sprung 4wd jeep might be able to make it on this road. It goes on for another mile or so before coming out on pavement.

Mission accomplished.

Oh, BTW, it was darn hot here today, similar to my last bush scrubbing experience I posted about a month or so back. No overheating this time, though, even though the terrain was just as rough. I think the extra pair of fans I installed on the left radiator made the difference. I'll tell you though, this type of terrain will test your radiator fan! You inch along picking through the brush, downed trees, slick rocks and logs, spinning over obstacles, all the while no air flow over your cooling system. It's a real workout too. Great fun, though - and after a few times through, I hope to find the best path, and make it an actual trail that can be ridden at some decent speed.

Great pics Nobrakes.
How did the bike go with the hot conditions and what I imagine was slow going?

Thanks guys - there are a few decent trails around here, but not nearly enough, IMO, and in true DIY spirit, we sometimes have to make our own
