Excellent, Admiral! I just might have to load up the bike and head down in elevation and a few hours south for my first ride of the year. Living at 9000ft can make for a long TW'less winter.

Then keep riding to treat that itch!
Sounds more fun than treating my TW as an agricultural machine today...plan is to drag several hundred pound loads of cut mountain mahogany brush out to the back 40 after another cup of coffee.
Sorry about the hi-jack Admiral. Looks like you were having way more fun with the blooming porta-potties. I
Honestly, I swear I didn't drag them there.
Hey I salute you folk, I cant handle lower than 15 celc, and won't ride in anything below 20 celc, and you guys riding in the snow and padded up to wazoo deserve that salute, can't find a salute emoji, so here are a few medals and a cup.?????
Awesome. Looks like we missed each other by one day. Granted, we may have missed each other since we were generally riding in different areas. I've got many years and miles of riding in the Owyhee Front.
My 96 TW only has about 640 miles on it. Got it last year. New at riding motos, but having fun. The Owyhees offer a lot of long easy rides. Good for training. I am in Caldwell. Where are you? Most likely will back in the Murphy area again next week.
If you give me a day or two heads up maybe I could trailer my TW down to ride with you. I won't be offended if you'd rather ride your own ride though. I don't want to pressure anyone to ride with someone else when they'd rather ride alone. I get it.
My home base is out of Garden Valley/Crouch just a few minutes (hours) north of Mistervelocity. haha!
Mr Velocity and/or Admiral, I would enjoy it very much to ride with you. I am planning on going next Tuesday, or Wednesday to Rabbit crk OHV park. It is the OHV park just before murphy. Easy trails in the area. Might be too "easy" for you guys?
Is there a way to get in contact and send my phone number?
Sounds like fun but I'll be working out of the country through most of next week. But my schedule gets more flexible after that. We could probably work it out through PM.
Tuesday works best but Wednesday could work depending on departure time. Wednesday I have an appointment and couldn’t leave garden valley until about 10:00 a.m. it would take me about 2 1/2 hours to get to rabbit creek staging area. Let me know a meeting time at rabbit creek staging area.
Looks like will be doing some long range shooting on Tuesday and Wednesday morning in the same area. Wednesday would be fine because we fold up shooting by 11 am. I plan on riding Wednesday afternoon and alsoThursday. Will be camping. We could meet somewhere closer? Maybe Hemingway buttes OHV (Reynolds creek) or Wilson Creek? Or come out Wednesday and ride both Wednesday and Thursday?
That Rabbit Creek looks and sounds inviting for springtime riding.
From Alltrails.com. " Rabbit Creek OHV Area is a 87.9 kilometer lightly trafficked loop trail located near Murphy, Idaho that offers the chance to see wildlife and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for off road driving and is best used from May until September"

The National Hare and Hound motorcycle race is held at the Rabbit Creek area every year. It is about 110 mile long course. Check some of the videos on Youtube. Crazy riding. Up to 80 MPH.
For me to catch Monday's first Supermoon full moon of the year , (the Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Sap Moon, Sugar Moon, Worm Moon, Lenten Moon, etc) I would need to go north or west. Perhaps the Black Rock Desert north of here? If firm enough I can cut across the playa only 8 miles or so to to base of the Black Rock. Cloudy otherwise here.
Near there are some mini dunes good to base out of and provide alternatives to the flat out cruising on the playa. Very tempting for a night ride. Hot springs on this side of playa deadly hot though.
Black Rock Playa may be sticky from rains so maybe west instead. Snow may be an issue on ridgeline camp but dropping down into Yuba gold country would be warm.
Ridgeline camp has access to quite a bit of forested singletrack.
