You don’t need a T7 for TeT Italia 😅

Col de Tende was necessary because the tunnel is still closed.

@ffasy Well done.., though a T7 would definitely be a tad less hairy up there ☺️.

Not Tenere related, but last weekend the Washington Area Trail Riders (WATR) hosted the Shenandoah 500, a fund raiser in the mountains of Virginia / West Virginia USA.  Great weekend and good $ raised for two local communities.  Had to share the most encouraging photos from the weekend.  First three are a club member who rides better than me as an amputee.

Second images are of a participant who rode down from Pennsylvania (4.5 hours one way), rode in the dirt for 7 hours and then home.  That is commitment.

Fully packed at Outduro Scout 2024. As the movies from that event now appear on YT I can see my T7 in some sequences.

This is when we arrived at the campground at the 1st day.

A heck of a lot easier than changing a flat!

Class. The transition must be interesting both ways.

The WATR crew are pretty awesome folks.  I wasn't able to officially attend the ride this weekend but I did slip away on Saturday morning and rode Peru & Mitchel knob, and Rough Run which were all part of the S500 DS route.  My ride ended on Rough Run as I volunteered to stay with a downed rider with a knee injury until help came with a pickup truck so that others could continue the weekend festivities as I had no set schedule and it was a nice day anyway. 🙂  The truck arrived about 3 hours later and we got the rider and his bike loaded up. I headed back north to get a few chores done around the house.

Thanks.  It was a pretty easy decision.  All the riders on scene when I pulled up were part of the weekend event so I figured I'd let them get on their way as most aren't local.   I did tell the young fella that had it been cold with freezing rain he'd have been on his own though...  🙂

Late September I had my alltime best off-road week in Sardinia. 13 participants (Ténéré only) rode with two local guides for five days on trails that are otherwise impassable. Beautiful landscapes, tough trails, steep climbs, extremely rugged descents - 6 to 8 hours of the finest off-road riding every day!

Ran sections 7 and 6 of the MABDR backwards (north to south) yesterday to arrive at my favorite campsite in Pennsylvania's Tuscarora State Forest.

 

Beautiful weather, fallen leaves hiding many rocks on the expert sections, balmy 43 degree F temps overnight, no one within miles of me and a great evening and morning campfire reminded me again how lucky I am to be retired and to live where I do. 

 

And, of course, the T7 was the best companion one could hope for during the 310 mile jaunt.

Thanks. That's the vista just before the Poe Paddy Road rocky descent (or after the ascent, when running the MABDR backwards like I did), and lots of folks use that spot as a photo op for obvious reasons.

Amen, man, amen! To be healthy and to ride what you like is a wonderful thing for sure. Enjoy!

Our (my son's T7 behind my blue 2022) Tenere's up on Monumental Mountain in a late season flurry of local riding here in NE Washington State.

Around 650 meters in logged slash above the now protected giant trees of Carmanah valley. The iconic west coast trail traverses the shores of Vancouver Island below. Steady roar of pounding surf just audible through the night. Managed to spy a massive whale pod cruising south with the bino’s. 

   Nothing for land beyond that sunset but Hawaii, Japan, NZ etc.  It’s a big pond…. Fair conditions given the season. Glad to catch that brief weather window, that’s slammed shut by the more typical fog & heavy rains this morning.
