Cajun Classic!

[Roughrider]

Who is going to this one. What is the terrain like in Louisiana? Is it like riding in a swamp, or do they have any hills. I have heard that they put on a good enduro. Is it real tough, or can everyone finish.:aj:

I'm going. I haven't ridden there. But heard the trails are excellent. Ty Davis ranked one of his favorite places to ride.

I've ridden this race many times. (Almost every year since '95.) Last year and many other years in the past, this was a National Enduro. The terrain is mostly nice loamy dirt in the woods, with a mix of sand and whoops out in the open stuff. The do have access to a couple of Sand pits and a gravel pit. The usually set up grass tracks in those areas. There are no hills, just a few places with the terrain has a gentle roll. Last years race was tough because it was 97 miles long! and it rained a lot leading up to the race. As a result, there were huge bike swallowing ruts. If there's no rain, it will be dusty in some parts. On non-national years, the club usually shortens the course to about 80 miles. Enjoy! This is one of my favorite races. Too bad I can't make it out there this year.

Well...How was it?

 

[Roughrider]

Had tons of fun, except for the last 11 miles in the mud infested tight trees. Hey Lawman, were you riding on row 20, if so, was that you that tried to do the triple Lindy in front of me in the 17 mph section?

 

[lawman]

yeah, roughrider, that was me. i was cruising along in that long free section of atv trails, bored, not concentrating, when i did the pinball thing off a bunch of exposed roots & finally gave a big kiss to mr. oak tree. it tore my mylar half off, even inside the little case, & i fell on my bad foot. that's what happens when you take a nap while riding! were you the int. b guy on row 20? if so, thx for checking on me after that little episode.

i had a lot of fun & really enjoyed the course, even tho i couldn't get my head in the game. i thought that long muddy part was fun, exc. for the big ditch where some guy on a gas gas bottlenecked it, & i really liked that tight part--it was just tight enough to be interesting. i think i did ok, not great, but i'm not sure, jerry & i left early for the long drive back to memphis, didn't want to get another $158 ticket like the 1 i got on the way down.

we'll be at the next sera 1, & prob. will do the blackjack 1 in arkansas on the 24th, just to get in a little extra self-abuse. anybody going to that 1?
