Had a great ride yesterday! We hit the trails at 9am with eleven bikes and finished the day at 6pm after covering 45 miles of the roughest trails Pickett has to offer. We had very few issues with I guess the biggest hold back being me pinching a tire which was nothing a quart of slime and a few plugs couldn't fix! I don't know all the trail numbers so maybe some one else with chime in with that info. I had a great time everyone it was great to get to see some new faces and I hope we can do it again soon!
Here's a few Images! Feel free to post this video and use these Images as you please..

Here's a ride report: We met at the old Hancock Grocery at 9:00 cst with 4 quads, and 7 sxs's. Took off on #48 to trail #21 with a quick stop at Arch Rock and the cave. Then it was on to trail #1, down to #3, over to #16 and the Car Hauler. On around #16 when Neil pinched his right front tire. Out came the slime bottle and some air and we were off again to Carpenters Rock for a lunch stop.From there, it was down #1 for a high speed trip down trail#12 and the Yellow Doors Overlook. With Neil's tire down again, one more plug got the leak under control, and it was off to Mineral Lake.We completed the 104 loop and headed back to #1. With the group riding well, we decided to take #100 on the way back down #1. Man, what a good technical trail!!! With very few problems , it was back to #1 and off to Preacher's Rock for a short rest. We then took #45 over to #47, back to #21, right on #23with another quick stop at the Waterfall Rockhouse.Then it was #7 to #3 out to the Sand Mines. Neil Decided to test the water level out with his Rhino in the Sand Mine play area, and after a tow and some water draining,we were on our way out trail #3 to the Highway, getting back to the trucks at 6:00 cst for a total of 45 miles. Can't wait to do it again!! thanks to Everyone for a great ride and a great day!!

Good Ride, My technical riding ability went from a 2.1 to about a 6 on a scale of 1- 10. On trail 100, my son told me that a person jumped out of a Razor and helped push on the back when I fell in a rut, while he was pulling on the front, while i was gassing on from the side, just want say Did not realize that you were back there, I was pretty focused....LOL
And Lt. Rubicon and Rincon Jed, glad that you guys showed up, my son and i both learned a lot about technical riding by watching both of your approachs.
I would rate this ride as one of my best rides ever, had to leave fast at the end to try and make daughters birthday party, We are coming back over labor Day Weekend, Hope to get a few days riding in, hope others want to go....
Son's favorite quote of the day made by SpongeBob, "He must be part fish" when my son was playing in the pond.
Saddest moment of the trip, when my wife told me where the camcorder was in my dufffle bag, the next day after the ride I though that we had left it at home, Hope the vid on the Go pro work out enough to make a video,
Gret pics and vids so far, keep them coming, should be some of me crying somewhere

You guys did great. Most of the time, the only way to get better is to just "GO FOR IT!!!" "When in doubt, throttle out"

GoPro started working right at Car hauler all the way until the flat tire, and gave the doggie time to take a potty break. Good place as any to start. My face looks comically tight, appreciate you guys watching out for me and my son. Will try and get something togethor maybe tomorow, need to know the dogs name?

RedRzr : For the assist in the spot that i fell in the rut on #100, :whip: and Neil, thanks for the winch up the bad spot earlier, my son would have rather taken a beating than hook on to the winch cable, but he was a little tight right there too, I made it easy for him, told him to hook on, (wished that I would have had my video camera, had a great angle on everybodies climb).
Rule.

I had a real sense of accomplishment in that hole, I was stuck, got beside it, hammered it and it came out..... then my son tells me the next day that I was not moving anywhere until the guy started pushing from behind then it went
