I'm not 100% sure where it starts, but we caught it south of that play area/crater where there are the little wannabe jumps. I think you'll dig it. It follows a wash/creek bed for probably 5+ miles. Super fun stuff.

I did. It's all back together now. I just have to wash my air filters and i'll be ready to go. Sorry to make you run to the parts store twice for nothing.


Note: if you drive an import (and most domestics nowadays), you can sometimes rob hardware to fix your bike in a bind. Turns out Tyson's Tundra's upper control arm nut fit my lower suspension bolt just perfectly. Thanks for that Tyson. I will now be adding a few nuts/bolts of common sizes to my pack.

was stansbury dry?

No we rode from west canyon south. It was really dry for most of it but we hit 5 or 6 areas with 12+ inches of snow we had to get off the bikes and use the mule tape tug rope and push pull them through. Then we got within a few hundres yards of davenport but we hit snow that was not passable so we turned around and went back. That section of trail will be clear I. A week or two south of daven port I'm guessing a month.

Sounds like the same trail. Starts about a mile east of that little play area, loops around to the north catching sections of the original single track out there then loops back around to the west/south (the west and south sections are lot of washes) then loops further south then out east, then back west through another wash and connects a few feet from where you start. When I rode it, it was in total 35-40 miles, I've heard it's now as much as an additional 35-50 miles.

We rode out at the singletrack west of the lake. I found an even cooler single track trail that goes for miles and miles. I'm planning on going back this coming Saturday, hope you can make it.

So looking forward to this Saturdays ride! Just placed another order for some goodies from RMATV :D I am so going broke :eek:

I was in St George last week and hauled the bikes down. We were originally going to ride the I-15/Fort Pierce wash area but I got a nail in my tire about 4 miles in. I sent my son and nephew on with a friend of mine and did a little loop while I rode back to the truck.

We got back and I pulled the tire off the rim, ran up to Pro Cycle/Rocky Mountain ATV dealership and bought a new tube and 15 minutes later had it back on ready to go. I have done enough tire changing that I have a system down for it. I actually replaced a front tire on a bike too this weekend.

Saturday we headed to run the Toquerville Falls trail because two of the guys had not ridden it yet. There are a few loose climbs but on top it has some really fun whoops on it. It was really dry though.

I could load the GPX file if I knew how to do it but I dont. Here is a link to it http://alltrails.com/tracks/toquerville-trail-40613
you can save it and open in Google Maps if you want. We ended up dropping down to the mail dirt road and then back on the highway. The little bikes didn't have enough speed to make it up some of the hills required to go back on a trail but you could easily back track from the falls the way we came.

Here is the falls

This trail is located on the road from LaVerkin to Zions. As you make the turn at the Maverik in LaVerkin heading to Zions you climb up and there is a hair pin curve in the road and as soon as you come around that corner, off to the left is a gun range. You park there and head northeast. Fun trail for sure.

great report Russ! Are you guys going to join us this Saturday out west of Utah Lake?
Cheston just called me with the itch. I will go with him so he can scratch his own itch but I know he will be working on Rob's truck if the weather will break. I am really thinking of joining you guys. I will see what my son wants to do.
