well, sorry i missed you guys(10:00 a.m. monroe stageing area)i was there till abouy 11:00. i had a great time though. those trails are real nice. they can get a little rough at times. there's alot to see along the trail. i rode saturday in the heat and sunday in the rain. i brought friends and a bunch of toys.my mb wasn't running the best.the bmx bike is scary fast(40mph), with tons of low end torque. i fried the clutch on my honda sunday.i'm only 1 1/2 hours away from monroe. i'm gonna get out there often.

Howdy, my bike isn't finished yet, and I just found this post and wanted to say "wish I could have been there!"

sorry we missed you! with the weather like it was that day, I decided to go to the campground first then ride the trail! I drove 4 1/2 hrs from Decatur Il to make it there! nice trails! I will post pics when I upload them soon.

maybe we can hook up next time guys. those trails are great. the people and watering holes are just as nice. i'm going to work on beefing up the shocks on my mb, and get heavy duty tubes. when i get back up there, i'm going to try camping in darlington. the locals told me the trails from there to mineral point were the best. i never made it past darlington from monroe.
