wreck wheeling is a pun picked up from last minute motorsports (aka Miller)

I like and use the "wreck" wheeling phrase.  Seems applicable to many of our rides.  I love some of our puns.  Just didn't know if you meant that it looks like it has been thrashed for 10 years or if it's ready to go for another 10.  Or both.

Good to go.

I consider wreck wheeling to be a step or three above rec wheeling - which is a sunday family trail ride.

Like you Mark I didn't know if it meant past or future tense.

i supose you are correct.  it looks like it has been wreck wheeled for 10 years, but it could be wreck wheeled another 10. 

yes, wreck wheeling is a few steps higher than rec wheeling    :)
