Thanks for the responses! They were very helpful.
We are on our way back home now, stopped for the night.
We stayed at the Trailhead Resort. It was a small but clean and friendly place. We didn't do spearhead but rode the black top to Pocahontas. No big deal there also if your on Pocahontas, check out the exhibition mine. We met up with another couple staying next door who were first timers so we did the first day together. They had a rental razer. We started on 10 and did several others until the rain got bad. The razer didn't have a windshield or much of a top so we headed in early. Being mid week and wet and rainy, there weren't many riders out so it was perfect for us. We did a bunch of green and some blue trails. The 700-4 did very well and took everything I threw its way. Not fast but had plenty of power to climb. I was impressed and ended up calling it billy goat. It turned much tighter than the razor too.
We were solo yesterday. There were more people out but not crowded and everyone we met was friendly. There were a few balls to the wall high enders out there but I only had one pair that were coming hot into a blind curve on me. Most everyone was going faster than we were but we just pulled over and waved. No problem there. I did try to keep up with one group that passed us and had plenty of speed to do so, it just beat the crap out of us and going that fast was work. I had full air in the tires and that is likely why. We wanted to enjoy the sights and the ride anyway.
We rode over to the other trails over to Indian Ridge, did a little there and then rode to Ashland for gas and eventually to Pinnacle. We really liked that best but didn't go all the way through it. We will definitely do all of that next time!
As we were leaving we saw a BUNCH of high power rides coming in, especially at Ashland. Nothing wrong with them, mind you but hammering those trails at that speed and with the blind curves has got to be dangerous. I really hate to meet them on a quad! We had a little slick mud but nothing like the deep stuff here and it actually was nice keeping the dust down until late yesterday and early today. That dust has got to suck when things are really dry.
Also, a local told me that there was an effort to get the property between, I believe, spearhead and Pocahontas into the trail system but the owner instead sold it to the Chinese and they don't know what will happen to it now.
Next time I'll air down some and hopefully wont blow a tire off the bead or end a rim.
The wife wants side doors when it rains.
More power would be nice and a little more speed on the blacktop.
It's noisy when on the road between trails with the windshield and roof on.
Pictures below also show where the bear pawed my truck (no scratches though) . He and I came within three feet of each other when I came out on the cabin porch at night! Both of us ran in different directions!! lol
That's on my phone so Ill post that as a reply.
