That is just to make them street legal. We do have to use a little bit of road to connect our "long" sections of trail. You do know that we ride well over 50 miles at any one of the Enduros??? Unlike that Motor-cross stuff............ :laugh:

Your bikes are not really "street legal"? I only rode one enduro (about 20 years ago) and I was told to get a motorcycle license plate and tape it to my rear fender - any plate is OK.

How do you explain this stuff to your kids?

"Son, I need to borrow your horn from your big wheel to put on my bike to make it street legal" (all the while wishing the fork tubes were smaller so you could put the baseball card that goes "click click" on the spokes with a clothes pin).

Fred T. will be inspecting all of your skid plates at all events in 2011.

I can just imagine going down the trail trying to follow the red arrows, lugging a bunch of useless crap mounted to my bike, looking for the paper plate stapled on a tree so I can make sure I am not going too fast.

50 miles?? :whoa:

I do mountain bike races that long. And I don't have to have a plate, headlight, brake light, clown horn or a man purse! :nener:

I doubt you can go faster than 25mph through the woods.

I thought the distance was the point....but....you'd be wrong anyways...

NOTE: I hit 39 mph during a XC mtn bike race at Boyne Mtn this past summer.

 

[rayracing88]

Not you. Those hills in Boyne are steep I could see that. 09onel said he has to look at his route sheet and computer and make sure he is not going too fast. In restart format I don't think he could ever make a check early unless he cut the course.

I don't want to talk about that. I have a 1970 Roger Staubach card (still in my collection) that somehow or other ended up in the spokes of my bike when I was 11.
:( :bang:

Hold on for a moment of silence..........................

Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled Pot Stirring.

I did 10 mtn bike races last summer/fall...hit well over 25 mph in all of 'em. Boyne was the fastest though. 35 miles and three trips up Boyne mtn made for an interesting day! :yikes:

Took my hat off for you on that one Mully.... :ohmy:

I'm curious about the track around the expo center.... is this going to be a grand prix-esque event? Like a one time event? Or a second perminent track for baja to operate?

grant,
i cant find much info.. but this is directly off their website...

Baja Opens New MX TrackHappy New Year everyone. New for 2011 In addition to Baja Acres we will open a new MX race track in downtown Birch Run. The track will be at the Expo Center complex thus calling the venue MOTO at the EXPO. We will build a 20 acre track on soils mixed of topsoil, clay and sand- making a perfect mix. This is a unique opportunity having a MX track in Birch Run with visual exposure from I-75. We expect a good spectator crowd for the 3 races in June, July and August. However there will be no open practices making it a even playing field. Stay tuned for more developments.

How come no trip south for you, BK?? Work??

What????.....I did a race last fall!! Had a blast too....... :cool:

We will see. No specific plans. Trying to pay down some debt (teenager approaching college possibilities). Not having to buy race fuel every weekend helped that cause this past summer! Race fuel for mountain bike races involves oatmeal and cliff bars.

I'm shootin for Battle Creek again. We'll see. No more health scares out of the Dunn camp, OK??

I had to put firefox on my PC to get DRN to work and post. I could get here but it would not take a "submit post".

It appears there is an issue with IE.

 

[Mully]

It appears that Bob has fixed the IE problem.

 

[Yam7M]

You sure? Did you check with Al Gore yet? :)

I can now post from the "Advanced" place...but I couldn't get the "quote" feature to work??

However my quote button works because my bike has lights on it.
