(May 7- 8)
Wisconsin Dual Sport Club cut some trail


How do you cut trail?
First determine the route
then mark with directional place cards
remove large trees with a chain saw

April 11th Dual Sport Update:

The event is go for Sunday. Trails should be about perfect, maybe a little slippery in some spots but nothing that will wreck your fun.

I can see it now,
18 foot 12 passenger van (of course, white with blacked out windows)
20 foot 8 bike trailer (of course, heavy duty industrial)

Gonna be fun

Ahem. 24 foot long bus. There's 18 feet on the inside

Big white Dodge nun-bus with 6-7 bikes on a trailer.
.
Good times indeed!

Happy to report that Team Nun-Bus made it down and back with flying colors, and Blue smoke... But flying none the less with nothing more than a couple busted turn signals.

Mad props to the guy that pounded his New KLR through the trails :thumb

This looked like a large water crossing
Brownsvillian & I were relieved when the Forest City Riders
had a arrow around route
