plumbing disaster,
two bikes that can’t go faster
than fifty-five: we
split up and make our own way
to the start of adventure
In other words, due to various circumstances, the group of 4 split up for the journey to New Pine Creek.
But first, a stop in Coburg for some equipment fiddlin’.
the Coburg speedtrap:
city gubmint’s gotta eat.
not today, suckers.
there’s a covered bridge
but no one takes a picture –
does it still exist?
“let’s take a shortcut,”
she said, expecting gravel.
surprise, it’s all sand,
sand, sand, for twenty miles.
make sand your favorite
the first tip-over:
into pillows of sand at
a fork in the road
who tipped over?
not Stacey, but the
fool who said “shortcut”
a thousand yard stare
after the “shortcut” is the
first sign of parting

Dear Stacy:
I’ve been off the beaten track for a week and I am trying to get a handle on things. Where exactly is this ride? And how come there is all this sand so far away from the beach? And I thoiught you’d had enough of off-road riding?
Sincerely,
Jack/reep

This “Day Zero” (and upcoming “Day One”, “Day Two”, etc. posts) is a recap of the OBDR trip I took from July 8th through the 18th.
Coffee when you get back?
Absolutely. I’m already back, so drop me an email.
Stacy,
I love this. The Epic in Saga format.
I’m waiting and ready for more.

I love the DR-Z’s, what size is yours? Sand’s tough to ride, better to keep speed up.
The bikes featured in this post are DR200s.
