Hey EXRIDER,

Russ and I had a great time. Sorry you couldnt make it. I didnt realize, but Russ just bought a new 400EX about two days before the ride. Nice and Shiny. I had to take my Polaris, cause my Honda is smokin. (valve stem/seals):rolleyes:

Hey Red,
No riding last weekend except for the little riding before I packed it away. We are going riding sunday in Williamsburg. Looking forwarded to it. Working hours have been anywhere between 10 and 16 hours a day. It sucks. The trip down was fine, about 11 hours with the trailer on back... Not to bad. Looking forward to tonight. Exhaust and tires are going on.

hey RED,
not sure if i was a member in time to find out about your ride:(
but shoot i only live a few minutes away from massillon.... where'd u ride?

[TRXMaddness]

bradw412,
We rode at the trails just off of Cherry Rd and also behind the Massillon steel mill. We also went to some trails off of Lake Rd to ride also. Look us up one day. I will be up that way sometime in April or May. Probably have another session of riding.

Rob and I are from Cen. Ohio, down in Coshocton county. Not much riding going on with us though, other than at our friends place and playing in the snow a bit, pulling our kids around on their sleds.
Patiently(HA) waiting for Wayne Nat'l and Perry to open back up.
Have plans in the making to head to Silver Lake in Apr!! I can't wait to go up and play in the sand!!!!!!!!!!

Later guys..

Hey SLB,

Im apart of the Silver Lake crew, Ill see you guys there!

Russ, a few of us are taking a trip to Silver Lake, April 12th. Be there or be square!:blah

Be sure to let me know when you head home, so we can ride. But this time, Ill show up at 6am, instead of 7am. lol

[SLB400EX]

So I heard you're goin' too! Cool. You gonna stay thru Sunday?

Right now, for us, plans are to head up to MI Fri a.m.(the 11th). Head home that Sunday morning. Ride as much as possible in between.
When we get set as to where we're staying and what-not, either I'll holler at ya or powerslider will, we'll all have to hook up at the dunes.

Later...Sherri

Kent,
I can't promise that I will be able to make it to Michigan in April. I know with the ride coming up in May I might not be able to make that one. I have plans on taking some leave in May for my birthday and also for the ride at 4punks and also to go home. I will try for that weekend, but I can't promise to be there in Michigan.

How is the Perry State forest riding area? I've been to Wayne national forests riding areas by Nelsonville (Dorr Run, Snake Hollow, and New Straightsville) and to the area down close to Ironton (Falling Rock) by the Ohio river. Was curious about the state forests riding areas like Perry, Richland Furnace, and Maumee up by Toledo. Are they cool areas to ride?

Out of all of those places, Ive only been to Wayne.

TRX,

If your going home after the ride at 4punks, let me know if you want to get together and ride that week. Ive got that week off.

Perry can be a cool place to ride.
Honestly, I would advise you to go with someone who knows the trail system, at least for your first trip there. The trails aren't marked very well at all and it is real easy to get lost. Been there .. done that. Rob and I have been there several times and can still lose our way when by ourselves. Had a ride there last fall with another guy who knows the place like the back of his hand and we had a blast. That was a great ride.
The trails for the most part are tight, twisty and not well maintained.
There are some killer hills to climb there, if you're into that kind of thing.
My favorite....going down the stair-cased water fall and riding thru the creek. :D
Seeings how you've been to Wayne..to compare WNF and Perry is like comparing night and day....

Hope this helps..
