    Jake Morgan here former ODSC member (KTM 500EXC)
    Took a break from off-road riding after an unfortunate moment in time requiring a little knee reconstruction...and a lot more rehab ;)
    Spent a few years playing on the road and the track but nothing really quite matches that single-track feeling so I'm back for more!
    I recently purchased a club member's FX 350 and am looking forward to the Ganaraska opening??? And the 2021 Bethany Ride???
    Any updates?

    I live in Keene now so down the road from the Ganny - I used to ride with a group on Wednesday nights in the Ganny, but now I'm a cross border truck driver away mostly Monday - Friday, so it will mostly be weekends riding for me. I'd also like to do and a few rides - would love to do Bethany, Orangeville-Creemore, Calabogie once again...

    Thanks for any updated info.

    Cheers

    Hi Jake, welcome back to riding.

    If the pandemic rules at the time allow, the club will host the ride as best we can...but we have to wait & see how this all plays out. For now, it's not looking very good. Stay tuned.

    Welcome back my friend!

    I am again managing the Bethany ride this year and it is still on with a few covid related changes. More to come on that front shortly.

    I will also be forming a new Wednesday night Ganny ride group for this season. Missed most of last sesason due to back injury myself!

    Nice bike!!

    Hey Kevin nice to hear from you!
    Looking forward to spring to try out my FX350 - just picked it up last month - not too sure about the rekluse clutch as I've never ridden with one it was just freshened up with new plates so it should function well but I'm used to a regular clutch - might be swapping it out for the original clutch - we'll have to see. Tubliss tires also new to me so we'll see how that goes as well. I won't be able to ride Wed nights unfortunately but maybe we could get together for a weekend ride sometime...

    Cheers
    Jake

    You will love the auto clutch in the tuff stuff. On that bike the standard clutch functions normally so no adjustment of your riding style needed. I would leave it in!

    I’ve had to Tublis on my 300 for 5 years and they work good provided you put some green slime in the tire to keep them from leaking down.

    we will have to find some days we can plan some riding then if Wednesdays are not an option for you.
