hello, my name is brett. i've been riding for 20 years. i ride a 1986 honda fourtrax 4x4 350. yes, its a dinosaur, but a good dinosaur. i'm a motorcycle/atv mechanic and have my own shop in epworth iowa. i used to be a heavy equipment and semi mechanic, but the back says no more of that. i have a 300 acre valley in galena illinois i ride in every weekend with 3 other guys and sometimes as many as 10 other guys. depends on the weather for the enduro guys. there is a creek running thru the whole works and there is some deep mud. i found this site on craigslist.

Welcome Deepshthonda! Very interesting screen name; is that what you tend to fall into while riding your Honda? It sounds like you have a really nice place to ride in Galena; is it private ground or can anyone ride there? I think I know several of us who would make that trip. I hope to ride with you soon! yes, i do tend to fall in over the handle bars on occasion. ot afraid to get dirty anyway.

I hope to ride with you soon! its an awesome place. the guy that owns it is pretty laid back and lets us bring people to ride with us as long as everyone follows the rules of safe riding. helmets are a must. the mud is deep, and the turtles do bite. got bit in the ankle last fall after my friend kicked one up out of his home in the mud. the turtle was pissed. it was fun thou.

Hi! My name is Jamie. I am the unfortunate one that usually has to stay home while my hubby (weekend warrior) gets to go play. I wanna get muddy too! That's one thing I dislike about my job. I only get one Saturday off in a six week stretch. Also... I don't have a ride of my own yet. So...if you happen to have a ride sitting around that you're not using....hint..hint (I'm in the market. --for a 4x4. So I can bail my hubby out when he gets stuck. lol!!--Feel free to drop me a line) I'm looking foreword to meeting & hopefully riding with you soon.

Welcome Wwzwyf! I just got your screen name! Good one! Sundays are a problem for Cadman and I too. Cad works Sunday nights, so we usually try to ride on Saturdays if possible. I hope we can all get together soon to meet and ride.

Your very fortunate to have that kind of private riding area! Your also smart to use safe riding practices even when not mandated, because as I'm sure you know.....Studip Hurts, and sometimes Kills! I gotta say, "I'm extremely envious of your good fortune of finding someone to let you ride their land! Do you ever ride anywhere else? Hopefully we will see you on the trails!

You can run but never hide! ;D When she gets her own ride you better learn to run faster! Then as a side job Mrs.WW you should charge 5 bucks everytime you have to pull someone out! You will make a killing off of skoalwolf! HeHe
