In an effort to get a day of riding in before the arctic blast arrived here in Texas, I headed out to the Reload Ranch with my ridding buddies Michael Kasberg and Mike Krause. Conditions were absolutely PERFECT! Kasberg was ripping on a 2024 KTM 300 XC and Krause was on a 2023 KTM 250 SX-F. I had to share this because it was one of those days that we all live for and reminds us why riding dirt bikes are so much fun.
