Tough one to figure on the single best ride. Seems like most rides have something that’s better then any. I love our riding area the best and it’s usually with friends and family so that’s tough but I’d probably have to say the Pioneer Takeover in ‘17.
Spent months preparing and working on our second rig after some failures. Put everything into that machine and it was finally exactly how we wanted it for the upcoming year. It was time to leave for a 2000 mile trek, we’d never really been over 200 riding. 40hours straight and picking up our friend @Eltobgi who I’d never met to share the ride with.
Before the Takeover we went to Coalmont Tn and without any real sleep we got there around 7am with @Delton as our tour guide. Was incredible. We rode till the next morning with only a quick nap. Running strictly on adrenaline caffeine and beer with an occasional meal. Left there to ride @drfubar s place, stayed the night and off to RRB where we met up with the group and continued to ride the same way for another 5 days. We laid down 1000 miles of absolute chaos to the machines and our bodies. Got to ride and meet so many new friends and family it’s unreal.
Only two regrets really. Would’ve like to been around camp more to spend time with a few others (but I get nervous in group public settings) and the straight drive home was the awfullest thing I’ve ever encountered, wish would’ve added a day there.
All in all it was one hell of an experience and not one I take lightly that we had the opportunity. Wife and I will do it again someday, I miss my people.It was an awesome experience

Yeah well don't forget that wonderful memory (at least for @Eltobgi and me), when that Mary's Ridge pterodactyl attacked you or maybe it just wanted to mate with you, while we were all sitting around the fire.

I only wish it didn’t crash after takeover! I lost 100’s of videos and photos:(
One of my favorite moments was dragging the @Tigermark 500 up Fubars hill with Puddlejumper after I struggled the first go round. That was bad ass!! Hill was no joke.

Yeah, that was fun! I remember that vividly! I did want to take @Tigermark P5 for a ride but it would have only been my 2nd time behind the wheel of one. The first being a test ride before I purchased the BEAST. I have since gained my confidence behind the wheel of one and feel I can hang with anyone;)

I'd say my single best ride was the 1st year I took the goat out west and went from Burgdorf Hot Springs in Idaho to the French Creek Switchbacks then back via the Centennial trail into the backside of Secesh because I got lost, but in a good way...but then there's so many rides to choose from....But that was an epic day. All of that was in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness....whew what a view!

Impossible to answer, I always like going some where I never been. Went to NM, CO this summer, had a blast, much different than the mountains of Tenn. Still a great ride!
...and yet, several others did.o_O
