Here is a pic from the group ride this past weekend. Keep a lookout for some stories to come.

That's a cool Cannondale up front! Wonder who's that is?

Posted by: knighttime

We had a great time. It ended up being Rico, Rico's dad, Froggieboi, Taco and 3 buddies, Cranman and Wyndzer on Saturday, and Eric/vwvr6, our friend Chris and myself in attendance. We all stayed in tents at the Chief Logan campsite.

I'm pretty sure we rode approx 85-100 miles both days combined.

Yep wyndzer was correct there is gonna be a lot of stories told about this trip/ride. I gotta rest first cause myself and a few others only got about 8-10 hours sleep max for Fri and Sat night combined.

I didn't see the greyhound bus in that pic. It must have been at the pump still. Taco, I passed a station just out of Ashland that had an awesome deal on diesel fuel. Buy 9 gallons and get the tenth one free. :blah

We had a great time. The goggles were cleaned about 1000 times this weekend. No big deal though. I can't wait till next year.

One word of advice though...Don't go to sleep beside the campfire because everyone will go to bed and leave you out there.

This weekend was a BLAST! There are gonna be stories & pics all over the place. I'm getting ready to crash out, but I have a bunch of pics to post for tomorrow. I'm happy to say that there were no serious injuries or breakdowns during this ride...

There seems to be a well kept secret with our WV EXriders....instead of 93 octane.... diesel fuel works as an awsome substitute. LOL.... Taco (aka Diesel) will explain...

LOL!

EDIT: Just wanted to say it was a pleasure to meet all of you guys... as Taco said, it was an awsome group of people to ride with.... Next year's ride is already being planned!

Posted by: Taco

shhhhhhhhhhhh dont give away all my secrets

:devil

Couldnt have asked for a better group to ride with, and I am definitely looking forward to next years ride.

Hey Taco, did your buddy ever find out that dude's name that was getting friendly with him by the camp fire?

We think this was the "Urban Legend Hillbilly" that everyone talked about at our campsite.

Rico to the rescue!!!!

The infamous picture of these WV guys putting diesel fuel in their quads.... LOL :devil

(Taco...I had to post this one...)

Posted by: MOFO

The EXRiders "Ring of Fire"....

This is what happens when you put a bunch of EXRiders together, add booze, fire & sparklers.....

Posted by: MOFO

I'm not sure what froggyboi is talking about when he says "they will leave you at the fire if you go to sleep" This picture was taken around 4am...the reason why some members only got 8 hours of sleep for the whole weekend!

...we did try to wake you up BTW....

Glad to hear that!!! I am soo jealous of you guys! I wish I could have been there, but reading your stories are already making feel like I was there

Glad to hear you all had a good time..... I am anxiously waiting to read your stories! (And seeing your pics)

Posted by: MOFO

This is knighttime as he is mother f'ing the lady at the store that sold him this tent....

Posted by: MOFO

Thats it for now...I have a bunch more on my digital of camp "related" pictures that I will post later (I have to do some work). I also have a disposable camera that I took "riding" pictures with....hopefully I should have it developed by today & scanned in.....

The weather was hot, moderately humid, and we had about 15 minutes of rain during Friday's ride.

There was plenty of beverages there. I drank only beer; gatorade and water, mostly beer.

Posted by: YLW400

Sounds like a good choice to me!!

Posted by: CranMan

Man all I can say is I'm glad Rico knocked out that Hillbilly dude...he was really getting on my nerves. Some people really know how to ruin a good time !!! ( I can't believe you posted that

)

ROFL! I figured it was all in good fun & I shrunk it pretty small... If that first pic is offensive to anyone, let me know & I'll remove it.

...a few more pictures....

EXRiders base camp.

Posted by: MOFO

Ring of Fire in action.

Lighter fluid was used to "attempt" to light all of the sparklers at once or close to it. It did not work....only 2-3 actually went up.
Looks like Rico got burnt or somethin in this pic as he is moving from the fire....

Eric

Posted by: MOFO

This is how "some" riders clean their clothes......toss 'em in the fire.

Posted by: Tommy 17

alcohol is the reason why someone would want 30 sparklers at once.

the fastest rider...well all I know there were some good *** riders this weekend.... I wasnt near the front much, so I'm not sure.....all I know is that wyndzer's C'dale hauls some *** & as Rico would put it... "He knows where the gas is on that thing!"

I dont think this will be a surprise to anyone, but I'd have to say Rico.

Posted by: wyndzer

Sorry guys, I don't want to toot my own horn, but ask Rico what he thinks. It's not a matter of who is faster, but who had the most fun! I think there was a twelve way tie in that respect!
I will admit that I earned the Jackass award on the Rockhouse ride, but I'll let Froggy tell that story, he saw it up close.

Why don't we do a semi-annual ride? I can't wait for June.

October is good for me.

you hit the nail on the head Wyndzer! The only thing that matters is that everyone had fun...and I'm pretty damn sure everyone did.

All I know is that you sure did know how to ride that p*ssed off SOB....I had no chance in **** of catching you on the trails...thats for sure.

Yep...I think we wanted to do something this fall..... we'll shoot some ideas/dates around soon....

Eric

Posted by: Tommy 17

i wouldn't mind goin in october or so... only problem is school

Posted by: froggieboi

school schmool, it's not going anywhere therefore it'll be there when you come back

Posted by: wyndzer

Do like we did and drive down on Friday evening, ride Saturday and drive home Sunday. Makes for a long weekend, but well worth the trip, the riding is O.K. and the company is great!!
We need to setup a poll and go with the majority after a week of voting.

Posted by: redzoomer

Hey wyndzer!! shorts and riding boots??? now that is a fashion statement!! You go boy!!

Posted by: froggieboi

yeah Wyndzer, I remember. It's usually better not to pull a wheelie before you top the hill climb. You did look pretty stylish falling off backwards and sending the c-dale on to finish the hill without you. That was a completely unselfish thing to do. You are a thoughtful guy.

Posted by:

Well I just typed up a friggen book and my pc crashed so I lost all of it..:grr :grr I'm not typing it up again at least not right now..

over all the trip was a blast,,I had a ton of fun and can not wait to go back,,I recommend this trail system to anybody and everybody,,,I'm gonna upload my pics to imagestation and put a link in my sig..I think I still smell deisel full..

and also if your more than 49 inches wide your gonna run into a small problem on one of the trails..

Come on now, don't keep us in suspense!!!!

You don't want us to get the "Urban Legend Hillbilly" after you.... Do you!

Great thread guys... Keep them coming!! I sure hope I can make the next group ride there!!!

Note: I heard it was hot there.... But riding in shorts?

Yeah, I like the fashion statement too! LOL.

LMFAO and ROFL yeah Mark you need to cut down on your beer consumption next time,,I'm sure your hangover was worse than ours on sunday morning.

Oh and thanks fer leaving the got damn winders open on the tent friday,,for those of you not there we got rained on friday for about an hour or so and we all got soaked to the bone...and then froggieboi, my dad and myself come back to a friggen pond in our tent,,my sleeping bag became a waterbed,,but my clothes stayed somewhat dry..

Posted by: Poncho

I'm definetly going next time Rico. I'll be there with some hoodlums from the woods of Ky. Me on my shee, a friend on a dirt bike, a hoodlum on a 300ex, and another hoodlum on a 300ex.

Think I can follow you down there Rico? I'm pretty sure we could meet up at say, Jefferson mall. We both now where that's it I'm sure.

Posted by: froggieboi

I think that you are just as capable of zippin up windows as i am. I can't take all of the blame on that one.

I wasnt tore up I was tired. There is a difference.

Not once did I claim to be torn. I just sat there and watched the fire so it didn't go anywhere.

If a fall H-M ride gets organized, I think I can add 2 or 3 more people to the group. I've been really wanting to check it out and with plenty of advanced notice, I should be able to get a couple other guys to go too. If not, I'll go solo.

Are there any technical trails or are they all 4th gear pinned trails? The uglier it is, the better I like it. Wide open trails are about as exciting as riding in a field.

Posted by: MOFO

Bearwallow is rocky, tight & slower.

Rockhouse is a little rocky, more open & faster....(but still very technical).... around 2-3rd pinned is about all you will get aside from a few areas where you can open her up....

Maybe we mislead you,,,it's all tight technical trails but out of the 100 miles we rode there was about a 3 mile area to open up the 416 in 5th,,it's mainly 2nd and 3rd gear riding, it's far from riding in open fields in a straight line...you'd love it man no doubt about it..I'm gettin ready to start a new thread for the fall ride,,keep yer eye's peeled for it.

Posted by: Scott

Sounds perfect.

How long did it take you from Huntington WV to get there? I can be in Huntington in about 3.5 hrs from my place. Trying to get a feel for how long the ride will be.

Posted by: froggieboi

I think it took us about 1.5-2 hours from Huntington.

Posted by:

Yeah froggie's about right, to go the fastest way and stay off the narrow 2 lane roads that 2 garbage trucks couldn't pass on,,would be to take 119 out of charlston south and the camp ground is at the end of 119,,and I believe 119 is 50 miles long from charlston to logan camp ground.

Posted by: MOFO

Your best bet would be to take 77S to 64E then 119S all the way to the "Old Logan Road Exit" then the campgound is about 5-6 miles on the right (Rt 10). Very easy to find.... great campground and its pretty damn close to the 2 other trailheads (Bearwallow & Rockhouse)

is what your quad may look like after hatfield mccoy. :blah

And it's twice as bad if your front fenders are cut off..

Your goggles are trashed after about 20 feet of riding. I don't think I can remember any of the trails cuz I was riding blind 3/4 of the time.

Posted by: Pappy

ok rico....im comin to the next ride. that was a keg as necessary equipment right?

Or 3 cases,,depends on if ya got room..

I know I drug way to much crap to the last one. Food for 3 days and what not....the heck with that,,,I'll be stoppin by KFC, subway, mcdonalds whatever this trip,,,after riding for 6 or 7 hours,,coming back to camp and cookin for an hour or 2 sucks. A shower, lounge chair, and a beer is all your thinkin on the way back to camp..

Posted by: CranMan

I hear you Rico....that's why Wyndzer and I ate out the whole time. Like you said there's not alot of energy left for cookin' after riding like we do all day...

Yep, im not packin food this time, its pizzas, wings, and whatever is on the way home. Heck, I may not even pack my quad!!

Posted by: wyndzer

Ya'll are catch'n on! The wings at Gino's and Ev's are the best I've had. It's cheaper for me to eat out than pack and cook for two days. I hope me and C-dale are ready for the next ride. I won't be riding as hard as last time for sure.

That's OK Jamie,,If dad goes I'm sure he'll enjoy the company 2 miles behind the rest of us..

does anybody think they'll have any 4x4's or old people with them that ride at a snails pace.

My dad and knighttime would like some company at the back of the pack..

Posted by: redzoomer

Hey Rico, that is all I think about anytime is the beer and a lounge chair..!!
Hey Dan and Jamie...We will have to do the Ev's thing while we are there.. I'm sure the Poot Mama's miss me!!!hahaha

Rico, I actually do have two guys with utility four wheelers that have committed to going. So there will be some slow guys in the pack, not that there was anybody fast before.

Where is Gino's and Ev's. Is it near the Chief Logan campground? Is it a bar?

Do they have a pool table?

Posted by: wyndzer

Gino's is a pizza place in Logan and Ev's is a little "night spot" with friendly ladies, I don't remember a pool table?

Posted by: CranMan

Glad to hear you're still planning on making it Wyndzer. As for the wings, Eve's has the best ones hands down....

Posted by: knighttime

for a couple of post ride beers, wings, and c what the scenery is like.

Posted by: redzoomer

Oh yeah the poot mama's will love you boys... Remember, don't leave without signing the ceiling!

Posted by: Sportrax 400EX

Is there an open invitation for anyone to join you guys on the Sept. ride? Me and a few other guys might want to make the trip up that weekend from Northern VA.

Posted by: CranMan

The more the merrier. I'd suggest you find the post with the head count so whoever's getting the campsites reserved know how many are coming. Of course there's several hotels in the area also...

Posted by: Sportrax 400EX

Cool deal, I'll try to find the thread and put us down.

Thanks
