....31 miles of dirt/mud/gravel/etc... 2 get to the highest point in wv

 

Nice! I have 5 miles everyday of that crap. Used to hate it but now I just feel more manly for enduring it. Have fun cleaning it!

 

looks like your starting a rat bike. You've got the dirt part taken care of ...LOL

 

I think it's pretty fvcking awesome that you're out there doing it! Most of the bikes I see (sometimes mine included) are trapped in suburbia.

I am going to hit the north rim grand canyon in a couple weeks. What bag do you have on there and how do you have it mounted? Looks like you're still running solo...

Thank mans, great job.

 

Haha I could hardly tell that was your bike... Be safe!

 

With the 200mm tire and the extra weight of that bag on the back, how could you get stuck?

 

That's your highest point in the state? I used to ride the Angeles Crest Highway and eat at the restaurant at 7,000+ feet elevation and that is not even the highest point! Oh well, good job anyway because it looked like your ride is way harder than our ride up the mountain.

 

The Appalachian Mountain range is much much older than the Rockies and mountains on the west coast. That's why our elevations are lower. They have probably several hundred years of erosion that your mountains haven't yet been exposed to. I believe at one time the Appalachian Mountains were as big, if not bigger, than the Rockies.

 

looks like a fun ride...ive never trek'd through dirt but i had a nice 8 hour ride in the pouring rain the other week on my way up to americade

 

county98 its a tbag lonestar. i've got my solo seat on then my passenger back rest w a luggage rack...
