Nov. 17, 2015 Enochs Branch, Looneys Creek, Mule Hollow, Home Creek

Me and Gomer went on another trail ride today. We started at Enochs Branch, traveled to Looneys Creek and took a short, rarely used trail where Gomer purt near got his eye put out with a dead tree branch. Then we traveled down Mule Hollow to Home Creek and rode several miles of trails and roads there, and back home.
We rode a mix of paved and gravel roads, along with muddy roads and trails. Dark gloomy day but the rain held off.

Elkins Branch on the right, Looneys Creek on the left.

 

He was probed! Dead tree branch nearly got his eye.

The head of Mule Hollow.

Mud one minute and gravel the next on Home Creek.

Somewhere on top of a mountain on Home Creek. Didn't think I was gonna make it up the last climb to get here due to leaves being 6 inches deep.

On the way back on Mule Hollow. Old auger mining holes.

Went on another trail ride today. Only 11 miles but lots of mud, briar’s and fun. Got a little squirrelly a few times with the Trail Wing dual sport tires but managed not to drop the bike. Probably looked like a wounded goose trying not to fall. Slowly getting my skills back.
Our route for today:

 Some photos from today. Beautiful day for it:

And a few videos from the ride:

Benefit Ride for Edger Wilson

I (Highnoon) went on another ride today. Kinda special ride, as it was a benefit ride for a school mate of mine that has spinal cancer.
I got there, and there was nothing but cruiser bikes:

But then this showed up. With and adventure rider decal. I was not alone!

It was a great ride from Grundy to Lebanon.

Gomer took me to a new riding area today. Actually I had rode in the area but it's been years and a lot has changed. It's been so long since I did any offroad riding I needed some easy to intermediate trails to kinda get my skills back. By the end of the 4 hour ride I was feeling a lot more confident. I think if I'd had knobbies instead of the Trailwings I would have done better, but I only (nearly) took a spill once, so I think it was a great day!
The Trailwings don't like slimey mud.
Gomer's WR500 is a beast!
