Knoxville and Rd40 Attempt
I took the KLR out to Knoxville yesterday along with a couple of much more experienced riders with platted dirt bikes. We did manage to find some common ground though which was fun.
Here is the recorded route (in white):
Here is a link to the track in CalTopo: https://caltopo.com/m/AEK06
We entered Knoxville at the Southern entrance, then rode down into Hunting Creek Camp and back up to the paved road. Some sections of both the descent into the campground and ascent back up to the road I found challenging, but managed to not drop the bike lol.
Then we took Reiff Rd / Rd 40 and it was easy up to the gate, maybe even freshly graded. But soon after descending from the gate it became rutted and very loose, at which point I turned around and my buddies went back to knoxville to try some of the single track.
That said, it was fun and a great learning experience for me.
Also, tried out a new nav setup using DMD2:
