Trailsmen Poker Run Report (9/20)

[liv2day]

Been far too busy and haven't had a chance to get anything posted on a fun poker run we hit a few weeks back. I'm really glad this afternoon hasn't been too insane...lol.

Thanks to an email from my buddy JP and some creative calendar clearing at home (lol), I was able to throw the Gasser in the truck and bomb out for the Trailsmen poker run a few Sundays back. An email to the usual suspects and similar calendar clearing on their end netted us a merry band of 6 nutballs for the ride.





I arrived shortly after 8 and found I was one of the last guys there; off to the check-in line to get my number and then don gear. One of my buddies had recently acquired a big Katoom thumper for dual-sport needs and decided to see if said bike could pull double duty on the trails. More on that late, but suffice to say while pretty nimble, the bike isn't quite as manageable as his 2-fiddy



After some herding, the cats hit the check-in point and we rode off into the woods. I don't know the area that well and it's a good thing the Trailsmen crew did such a good job with marking. Outside of one missed section, due to far too much fun with the happy handle, we had no issues navigating our way through the course. Nothing was too tough and the layout of the course was fun, so good on the Trailsmen peeps.
