Title: Anyone riding tomorrow? (Sat 9-26)

It should be a nice day tomorrow.  I'm planning on riding somewhere tomorrow on my KLX.  I haven't decided where yet.  Anyone else plan on getting out tomorrow?

I'm game solo.  I gotta be back at 4pm tomorrow, but that doesn't mean you have to.

Yeah we rode.  I left something behind up there and have to go back, I saw a road Crystal Ridge Rd.  I have to go back and see, you can't hit them all in one day.  We did S Crystal Ridge Rd, but not plain Crystal Ridge Rd.  It may be nothing but I like the other well enough I have to check it out.
  I have to get a new chain on my bike before I go back.  Its already ordered should be in Friday.  I should have replaced the first one at about 9k but replaced the master link and took it to 11k.  I now have 21,300 and the replacement chain is wanting to hang onto the top of the rear sprocket instead of letting go.  I just tensioned it two weeks ago and it was making racket when we went through Fayetville.  I signaled @klaviator that I needed to pull over and it was very loose, I reset the tension in a parking lot there and it was just as loose again when I got home just 180 miles ish later.  Once it starts growing that fast, might as well just get another.  Sprockets still look great though.

We had a great ride.

This would area would make for a great group ride but it will have to be a day not too long after it rains because it would be too dusty if it's really dry.
