That was my wife and I in the Racer X truck. Originally Yamaha had their XTR Challenge UTV event scheduled for this past weekend, which a few of us from MX Sports typically help out with. Naturally the event was cancelled a while back, but we still made the trip down for the weekend. There was some volunteer work going on in Waverly through the weekend, and I also helped Anthony Brutto from the ranch get the trails marked for their trail ride in a couple weeks (hence the bike in the back)

The track will be put back together and ready to go for next year, it will take some time and a lot of work but it’ll come together. What will take much longer and much more work is what the folks in Waverly have been dealt. Photos and videos really don’t do much justice, and it really doesn’t even sink in until you see it in person. I’ve been to beaches after hurricanes that weren’t as devastated as Waverly is, and I really don’t even have words for it. I would encourage anyone with some free time to go volunteer to help out. There’s a group called Inspiritus who is operating out of one of the shopping centers in Waverly (they’re in what was the Shop n Save across from the Imperial Lodge Motel and Lances Pizza). You can just show up and sign up to help for a day, multiple days, or even just a few hours. It’s not easy work by no means, but they definitely need the help.

The Ranch had to cancel the rest of their events for the year, but they’re still going ahead with the trail ride October 14-17. I rode the entire main loop a couple of times this weekend, and the folks from Middle Tennessee Dirt Riders are helping out as well putting in some optional additional single track sections. Even if you’re not a big trail rider, I highly suggest checking it out. Everyone I’ve ever talked to who’s attended these rides always have great things to say. This will be the first time I’ve attended the actual ride, but between GNCCs in the past, and trail riding there at other times I can say the place is really a lot of fun to ride. All the info is on the ranch’s website if interested.

I'm on the road driving a van to San Francisco, so I decided to visit LL's and take some photos and video

I can't edit and sorry for the quality, it was also super foggy.

I was told there was some Yamaha pow wow or something over the weekend, so I coincidentally saw the RacerX Pick up truck leaving with a bike in back.

I went in expecting the absolute worst, and while it's bad, it isn't that bad....track and property wise

The worst is the rocks,,,,the river rock is all over the track and start area.....over half that start is buried in small river rock

I tried to keep all the videos short, about 30 seconds








First two pics show how bad the rocks are in the start area and straight, it also goes all the way through the first few turns





This road repair is where the ENTIRE ROAD WASHED OUT going to Loretta's home and the little visitor center and post office.



Feel free to share
