Catskills trip

[Got Duc]

Well I was off to the Catskills this weekend.

Did not know what I wanted to bring.

The quad or the DRZ

I ended up packing the DRZ in the pickup to see what it was capable of.

Friday I left around noon with my gear packed and the DRZ in the back of the truck.

I got to the house around 2 or so.

Took all the gear out of the house and unloaded the bike.

I started her up made a left on 30 and headed to the woods. as i headed up the mountain I realized how much fun the bike really is. I spent the rest of the day do wheelies and hitting anything that would send me into the air. 

On Saturday I headed back out. took a tour through town. and did some time on secondary roads. What a blast. I then went back up the mountain and met up with a few friends. I hung out for a while then was going to go back to the house to get some lunch. As I came out on the road. The back of the bike felt really weird and kicked out funny.

I looked down and saw I had a flat on the rear tire.

I limped the bike back to the house mad that riding was over for the weekend. Oh well! </shrugs it off>

Here is a shot of the bike on top of the mountain.



This one is on the lower loop of the property

Hope you had fun at the beach

I like to go hiking, sometimes with others and sometimes alone.  It's always in the back of my mind.  I recommend one of these, it's always made me feel at ease.

EPIRB is a great idea.

I did have other people with me, just not on bikes.
