Below I will be adding some trail videos from the Scouting trip @Hondasxs and I completed this past weekend on 1-29 & 1-30 2016. Hope you enjoy and can join us April 8th & 9th at the 3rd annual Hondasxs.com group ride. All 3 machines were P1k5's.

Added: My full ride report with maps and photos from my October trip in a P500 is here in case you want to reference the trails mentioned on the PDF file of the maps in this thread:

Well, I don't need to go on the group now. I've see the trails already.

Seriously though, thanks for posting those vids. Looks like it will be fun.

Video begins at Overlook from Trail 30 "Top of the World Trail" and descends down west side of mountain into Trail 19 and turning right until we had to wait for a logging operation work off of the perimeter of the trail system. Fellas were kind enough to move the logs quickly and we were on our way. Found a little mud in all the purdy snow :)

Looks like the wife and I may be attending the ride as well, the 9th is her birthday, so may be planning a birthday weekend ride for her. Looks like this will be fun. How do you think a 2 year old would fare on the trails?

It all depends on how long the child is willing to sit out on the trails, if they are entertained by the ride obviously that helps. The trails will not be an issue but I recommend a car seat for their safety and comfort. The Saturday ride would likely be in the 6-8 hour long loop including multiple stops at scenic locations for photo ops etc.

He us a solid lil dude. We do put him in a car seat though. As long as he gets a chance to get out and run around every so often he is a good rider. Thanks for the response!

Well if the family decides not to go you might be able to meet up with me and trailer them both down (I might have a trailer that could fit them both) and if everyone falls through on my end then I have a 6 person rustic bunk for 1....I'm about 70 miles away from you. Regardless I am always looking for people to ride with around Illinios if your ever interested?

I'm always ready to ride lol. I'll probably be back down at south fork this weekend I'd the weather is decent. The family always goes along, but if you want we could always meet up and caravan down there. You gotta go right past me on your way down to 64. We should hit up brushy ridge when it warms up a little

Sounds good! I got family coming in town this weekend but definitely want to ride and I've never been to any of the places you mentioned. I'll message you off this thread so we don't plug it up!
