Default Pics from today

Finally got some time to ride today... did 140 miles in all.

This is the first time I have seen these trails on my bike, instead of a snowmobile! I had to ride solo today, so I stuck to familiar trails and rode pretty mellow. I had a couple 20oz fuel bottles with me, but ended up not needing them. Switched to reserve at 90 miles on my way back home. Funny thing is; my off-road mileage went UP about 5 MPG from where it normally is.

I met a group of about 20 or so people with ATV's and SxS's at one intersection. They were pointing to a 2-track heading up a mountain... and they wanted me to climb it. I figured they had downed a couple more brews than necessary... One of the guys had apparently been up it on a 4x4 ATV, but I doubt ANY bike would have made it up there. It was all loose big rocks, and very, very steep.

That just means you need to push yourself harder off road

Most of the pics were just north of the Hardware Ranch complex. I didn't make it up into the Logan area (fuel tanks on these KLX's are small). The area is in northern Utah, about 40 minutes from where I live... Hardware Ranch | Utah.com

Great pics - that looks very much like the dirt road from the north end of the Ogden valley into the southern end of Logan. At least that's what it used to look like - it's probably paved by now.

Could be...

The pictures were taken on the trails that run between 39 and 89... they connect the Hardware Ranch area to the Logan valley. Great snowmobiling up there in the winter!!!
