Hill Climb Mayhem- Bates Road at Back to Back Trail

This was a late November ride in the Tillamook State Forest. We headed out from highway 26 at Rutherford road on Back to Back trail. When it hits Bates Road we did this little hill climb. Was riding with "Old Man" Dave KTM 350, Papa Pinto Beta 250, Uncle Johnny Honda CRF250RX, and Simon YZ250FX. Good work-out! You just can't beat the Pacific Northwest when it's not raining! Oh-yeah and me on my KTM 300 XC-W TPI.

I crashed in the same exact spot on my DRZ400 😂. Usually make it but not always 😎

You are probably right but if it didn’t it would have been a lot heavier to turn around!
