David has some of the pictures Sat Mike will send me more. These trails are brand new ones I made . With Mike's help we put lots of ribbon to mark
trail. We both use cheater tires . They don't leave any track what so ever. I'm riding my spare crf 230 with heavy mods. My mine bike engine being
rebuilt. Mike on Wr450 with auto clutch . Mike is super to ride with can handle anything.

"cheater tires" ????
I am guessing you are referring to trials tires.... often a good choice for a variety of terrain. Pirelli MT43 is my fave for most local conditions in
BC. Not as good as knobbies in mud and sandy sidehills....but a great choice. I have always used knobbies in Baja, but would like to see how they
would be for all Baja conditions.
However, can't agree that they don't disturb terrain.
Thanks for the info.

It was great to see all the green grass. Good traction was easy to find everywhere we went last week. Tested out the mousse bibs. All 3 of us had them
front and rear. 20 miles at 55 mph on pavement . Didn't even feel hot to the touch.

I'm going to try the newer nitro bibs on my next trip. They claim they will hold up to highway riding as long as you let them cool a little before
hitting the whoops or any hard dirt riding?
It would be nice to not worry about flats but If a bib fails you are pretty screwed unless you have a tube and haven't smoked the tire.
