Dual Sport

Every time I ridden off road so far, I've been utterly wowed by the remote and private beauty of the land we're riding. Dual Sport riding allows for some pretty awesome experiences that many people, motorcyclists or not, don't typically get. While on our 50(ish) mile ride yesterday, I discovered the location of possibly the most amazing campsite on the planet.. OK, maybe not the planet, but I will most definitely be going back to camp there.. Miles from a paved road and certainly no traffic, the road winds up and across the hillsides into the heart of the mountain ranges. Then, perched seemingly on top of the world is this beautiful little grassy pad with sweeping views almost 360 degrees. Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and St. Helens are all within these mountain ranges. I'm hooked on dual sports.


In other news, the rally was pretty lame. In fact, if compared to the GS Rally, I'd even call it pathetic. I'll save you the rant, but suffice it to say that my dirt ride and completing the MSF's Intermediate Dirtbike school were the highlights by far.. Oh, and the demo ride on the BMW G650Xmoto..

It was an exhausting couple of days and I'm looking forward to a little rest..
Photos and the movie are on the way!
