General Banter / Phoenix
« on: October 11, 2010, 09:24:58 PM »
I'm heading south to Phoenix in two weeks and looking for some suggestions. Guessing it's a little late in the year to do the Mtn. passes in CO. Probably going to head to Topeka then down and over to Albuquerque. Not expecting there to be tons of twisty stuff or any really. But if anyone has any suggestions or at least something cool to stop and look at to break up the ride, it would be appreciated.

Routes / Spider Lake Mixed Surface .gdb
« on: May 12, 2010, 04:36:26 PM »
Start: Pine River, MN
End: Pine River, MN
Length: 100-150 ~110 miles

It actually starts at the access road for the Spider Lake Trail System. The nearest town is Pine River. The only straight section is from the access road to the town of Pine River. The rest of the route is twisty pavement, County dirt roads and State Forest Roads. Any street legal bike can do this route. Suitable for any offroad capable bike but best for big ADV bikes and big thumpers. Small enduros are just not as fun on the twisty pavement sections.

There is free primitive camping at Spider Lake. They maintain the trails now so they are much better than years past and it is very hard to get lost in there because they have blocked off all the rogue trails etc. You can ride anything that is an actual road with a regular plate but, you will need a DNR sticker for the trails. The .gdb file is all on public roads and does not use any of the off road trails in Spider Lake. I usually do this loop and then spend the rest of the day riding the trails.
Here's a link for the trail system: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/ohv/trail_detail.html?id=27

Routes / White Rim Trail .gdb
« on: May 12, 2010, 12:46:56 AM »
Start: Moab, UT
End: Moab, UT
Length: 100-150  ~133 miles

All day ride almost entirely dirt roads on the famous White Rim Trail. Hits the Schafer Switchbacks etc. Sever drop offs and spectacular views. Opportunities to take spur roads/trails along the way to overlooks etc. if you are making good time. Remember to bring a camera.  I made this route in Map Source and am going to ride it at the end of the month. I've been told that it can easily be done in a day with an early start.

Hello, George O'Neill here. Most forums I'm known as FuriousGeorge although I don't really post much anywhere.
Riding for awhile, I still get out for sport oriented rides a couple times a year but spend most of my time doing dualsport stuff around the midwest on a DR650. Looking forward to riding with allot of you this year.
