For all you guys who want to test your machines ability and your driving skill, I have a place here in WV that will give you all you want. About 70 miles east of Charleston WV is a place called Swiss. It is a section of land that borders the famous Gauley river. The Whitewater rafters paradise. Our friend JoshC knows this place well and I am sure would love to guide a ride for us. Here are some pics of a few of the trails there.

I had to have ridden right by the area going from Sanderson to Summersville! I bet I wasnt 2 or 3 miles from it. Does anybody have GPS tracks from Swiss? I'd love to find some rougher stuff like that a little closer to home.

Looks like a day of hard riding there and not many miles covered. Those are some technical trails there for sure.

This will be a good camping trip. Ride all day and camp over night on the Gauley River. Do a little smallmouth fishing and ride back out day 2.

I think camping would be awesome. I know this for absolute certain. I will be riding that weekend in WV and camping. It will either be Swiss, CABWAYLINGO or Sanderson. That is the last long weekend I will have for awhile (minus 4th of July) so I will be taking advantage of riding in the good ole Mountain State. Mark, if you want in, mark the weekend of the 12 and 13 June on your calendar.

OK guys and girls. Kind of last minute but I'm takin the rhino up to Swiss tomorrow. We're meeting up at Tudor's Biscuit World off the Marmet exit between 7:30 and 8. Gotta get an early start to beat the rain Sat. night. Should be 5 or 6 SXS's. Come join us and have some fun. We'll be riding the Swiss area and then over to Summersville and back. Should be a blast.
MarkM
BTW Pretty cool camera work. Looks like we'll be in for a treat.
