We rode Ivy Branch on the HMT yesterday. Got a call that a friend from another group had messed up his front wheel on his 900XP. They asked if we had a spare. SURE! We rode over and loaned him my spare. And away we went.

You can guess what happened next.

Yes that’s right…. I cut a tire… Actually my first believe it or not.

DAMNIT!!!! I still think my voice is echoing amongst the hills of WVa. BUT, it wasn’t as bad as it seemed. I think it was just gouged and maybe rolled off the bead temporarily. We got the tire (BajaCross) to hold air enough to ride out. I do not regret helping a fellow rider/friend out one bit. And I am not bitching. I’d do it again the same way next time. We actually laughed it off. :rofl3: Shit happens… We just packed it up and hit Quaker Steak and Lube a little earlier than planned at Corridor G.

All in all it was a great ride on Ivy Branch. A little dustier than anticipated. The weather was perfect.
