After two attempts at riding Meadow Creek  ( snow & down fall ),

I splurged and bought a Trail Tech mount . It’s designed for a Stihl 193 but
with a couple simple modifications  it works for the Stihl 201.

All Two-Strokes !
Granite Creek was packed , mostly SxS’s . Only saw one other bike on the trails.

First ride ever with a front mounted saw. The saw was stable but started out using
more muscle until I relearned the balance and body english . Still need to figure
out the clickers for whoops .

RABBIT CREEK

Then cut 3-4 more on one of the Rabbit Creek legs , but left a large one for another day.
It was 4PM , I was tired and it looked like it would take over 30 minutes .

Finally stopped for “lunch” ~ 5 PM.

Clocked over 76 miles + one tank fill on the saw without hitting reserve.

More impressive is the old fat spode kept a 16mph pace carrying the saw.
