    Probably very accurate. Saturday will be more of a stock friendly for most of the ride.. You have to ride some pavement to get to trails on the DBBB because they are spread out. Which sucks on the blacktop however really fun because you don't know what to expect when you hit a new backroad trail.

    There are short and technical trails off the length of the DBBB that you and others can try. Easy enough for the larger portion of the group to spectate.

    There's a ton of stuff on YouTube for this. Search for Slade, RRG, Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge, etc...
    We've been posting videos in here of other's trail rides too.

    Seems fun if that's the kind of trails we hit with the big group. Definitely better than just fire roads

    Cody tried to do it for the Gram. Didn't.

    I tried to be nice and let wenches pass me. Got stuck between a rock and a hard place in the same wash out. Perpendicular.

    It was soupy as can be because it was raining, the way that trail is laid out it pushes you directly to the right (Which is about a 25-30 drop off right down to the creek bed). By the time we got to the 3rd or 4th truck it was a mess.

    You can see how it would push everyone at 1:31 of that video. @16Tacos was trying to go straight but it wouldn't have it.

    Okay...that winching was us trying to find Carb Hill or Widow Maker. Where Josh came close to death if we all didn't yell at him to stop. I also got winched up that because my truck did the same thing as Zach's.
    Everett was really more of a safety anchor than actually pulling us.

    The other part was as described a few posts back by me. You went in a not good place, I did too.

    No. Talking about here at RRG, last year.
    At 1:30 of the video, is where Josh came close to rolling. Which is also where I had to get winched with Zach. Everett and Presta had already climbed up that. After we got 4 trucks up, with Josh following and teetering, we decided to come down and find another way around.

    That was a decent trail. Mostly easy but a few thrills..
