Went for a ride today after our first winter storm of the year. It was very early but much needed. We were in the midst of a severe drought and the state was on fire. Three days of rain, snow at 5,000 ft and higher (we live at 4,200 ft) and highs in the 30s. This was taken a few miles from my place and at an elevation of about 5,200 ft. I was just below Marysville. In the 1890s it was the most populous town in Montana due to the gold and silver mining in the area. These days there are less than 100 people in the town, but it has a good bar and a popular ski hill.

325 miles for me, took 9 hours, started with a nice windy country route into the woods, then some solid two track, stirred up likely a 400 feral pig, that was a monster, then lunch and a SEBDR S3 run back towards home highlighted by a challenge to run my street tires on the hard route, it was an intense challenge! Great day😍. More than one pic though.

That's crazy to do that mud bog on slicks! With my ham fists I would have rooster tailed and sunk so deep I'd hit oil.

398 miles today, 125 were off road messing around on the SEBDR S6 section. Hadn’t ran it yet and it is intense, just nasty baby heads, so many sharp edged. it was a great run till near the end where a bridge was out, I didn’t check before leaving. I made the decision and it worked out even on the street tires 🤪. The machine is phenomenal, my KLR and Ktm could have done this ride but 6 hours on the highway on a GS is just awesome, I’m much fresher when I get in the woods than on the smaller bikes.
