tknj99 · 04-16-2023, 05:25 PM

Rode Big Levels Jeep Trail in George Washington National Forest, VA today with my son.. This is a 17-mile torture trail of rocks, rocks, and more rocks, sprinkled with sand and water crossing and huge ruts along the way

My son dumped twice and the Templar made it unscathed except for tipping over twice - my fault - damn too long kickstand!

Was a fun day.. maybe will do again, after enough rest lol, its exhausting

Just to add, the gearing at 14T/49T was perfect for this trip and the slow crawling, rarely exceeding 12 mph.. i was in 1st gear the whole time for probably close to 2 hours and not a hint of overheating.
