L e a f R i v e r - Dual Sport Ride

408693759_k3Q4S-XL.jpg



Leaf River, Illinois November 2, 2008
http://forestcityriders.com/

This event is designed for enduro bikes and may not be big bike friendly.

The event was ran on the same course as the enduro

The Trail consisted of single track with connections made with two track, gravel roads, farm fields, a 1913 train underpass, a few water crossings, and a ATV Trail shot in for good measure.

I would like to thank all the land owners for letting us travel on their land.


The Forest City Riders put this Dual Sport Ride with 237 riders attending the Ride. The ride was 30 miles with the option to do two laps for a total of 60 miles​

I pulled up to this water crossing and I decided to let the guys behind me go first. I watch them make it look easy. My concern was hitting slime and soaking my camera or sucking water in the carburetors on my BMW Twin.

Heck, I did not even get my toes wet!​

To this rider this was a dried up creek, to me it was a raging river

Down this hill, then ride along the river

This was a very hilly enduro route​

Had an absolute blast and I can't wait to do another one! The route did kick my butt physically though, I was completely exhausted.

Hope to see you guys out on the trail soon!

This was the first time I rode this event, and I had a blast. The sections were nice and tight, but not so bad that there were 40 bikes waiting to climb a hill or whatnot

I was behind you around the time you took this picture i think. Nice work in the trees man!! :clap


A lot of places were tight. I just made it between these two trees,
The BMW cylinders are offset by a few inches.
I used the offset and leaning to get my old Beemer through places that were narrower than my bikes cylinders​

This is a good run and is doable on 650 singles, IF you are a good rider.:D

I would leave the twins at home, but some clowns have been know to do this on 950 Adventures.:huh

And if you really like the DS run, the official enduro is the following Sunday.

In! TE450.... Please tell me we're not cutting trail for the enduro...lol.

I watched a 950 adventure do it last year, no cutting either.... He's my hero :lol3

Great pics Klasjm. You sure captured this event superbly, Nice to see another twin there on the trail too. Sure wish they built those BMWs like they use too. Very nice GS you have there.

FlyinRyan said:
Klasjm, your pictures are great. With your permission I would like to post a link to them from the clubs website. And you are the man for riding that BMW on those trails!

I was in front of you before the hill climb in this picture

The picture does not do a good job of showing the log 2 feet from the top that kicks up your back tire.

This ravine was twenty feet down,
then twenty feet back up the other side.

Glad I bought the new Dunlop 606 at motorcycle-superstore.com
