Took my bike up to the N Yuba area the other day for some camping and to check out the Downie river and Lavezzola/Pauley creeks. The water was a bit high and fast but gourgeous. Caught a some fish near the banks. Got on a trail marked for OHVs, yea right. If you like to occasionally mix your fishing w/dual-sport bikes don't take an OHV trail with out scouting it first. The trails can be a foot and a half wide with 60 degree slopes on either side w/no turn-arounds. Anyhow 340 lbs bikes aren't easy to pull up 60 degree slopes. The nice thing was I asked the "Big Guy" for the strength to get myself out of the situation at hand and... along came three kayakers. They were kind enough to take time out of their day to help a hybrid-redneck from Georgia pull his bike back on a trail so his wife wouldn't start worrying about him. Some of the younger generation may sport an exotic-fly-pattern look but they still have good hearts.

P.S. If any of you would like to go biking and fishing drop me a line.
