I went for a ride on the Wabash Trace earlier this week and discovered how they use to rob trains in the old days. You need a horse, an ambush spot, and a six-shooter. Well I didn't have a horse or a six-gun, but I found a good ambush spot and was atop my trusty steed, a.k.a. my GF Sugar 292.
I rode 75% of the horse trails on the way to Mineola...no crashes, but there were a few close calls. Then I decided to press on to the old mining town of Silver City. You know back in the old' days there was drinking, shooting, and a whole lot whoring going on round them parts. It is very quiet now a day to say the least. I turned around and made my weary journey back to the trail head...hitting about 50% of the road apple scattered single-track on the way. There were a few climbs where my legs told me NO, but as you know what goes up must come down.
I made it back safe and sound,
minus a few near misses,
one crazy killer possum,
three curious deer,
numerous road apples run over,
no trains robbed,
no whoring had...
But a good ride none the less.
And as always...get a big wheel, it just rolls faster.
As soon as the funds become available the above will be built to the below specs:
