Hi!

[KimYZ250f]

I've ridden trails but haven't raced an enduro. I wouldn't even know where to start. Tell me more and maybe I could get ready for the August one at Breezy Hills.

Where is Patterson, LA.

My e-mail address is kimberly.buratt@bri.com

Thanks.

Kim,

Our next Enduro is May 5th at Gulfport Mississippi. This is a great race for a newbie. And, they're running a trail poker run on the day before. You can ride either or both. Information is here:

Welcome to DRN.

Kim, sorry for taking so long to reply. My work load since February has been so much that it is really taking away from my time here. ;)

Anyway, the enduro in Breezy Hill is one of my favorites. The only down side is the heat, usually in the mid to upper 90's in Louisiana in August. The trails are really nice and usually nothing that terribly difficult.

For a first enduro, I'd suggest just trying to go as far as you can and having a great time. I wouldn't worry about keeping time or anything like that. I usually just ride with someone who I know is faster than me (not to difficult there) and is a good time keeper. That takes the guess work out of it for me. I just ride the best I can. When or if I see them, I stop. If I don't see the others on my row, I know I'm late. Let me know if you can make it and if you want to ride on the same row. Hopefully John will be riding with me and can keep time for us.

I'm not sure exactly where Patterson, LA is. I always assumed it was somewhere around Alexandria. If you want, I'll give Angie (Curlyma) your e-mail address. She's really nice and always fun to be around. Maybe ya'll could get a ride together.

Again, sorry for taking so long to reply!

Welcome Kim this is a great site with some good people. Hey could some of you "dirt chicks" help me convert my wife into a "dirt chick"? Got to go find my drool bucket now.

Steve, how about you start a new thread & we take it from there.
Even if your wife gives four wheels a go, we may convince her to try 2 in time. Check out the threads about the enduro school, show her all the women riding, how plenty of us love it too (excuse me while I go barf, just had a rough day, anyone wanna buy a KDX200? I'll throw in a TM250 & husband to go with it).
Looking forward to hearing more about your wife, what she ends up getting or why she doesn't want to ride. Oh, speaking of that, check out Cindy's page about excuses:

BTW welcome to Kim & all the other new female members, glad to have you onboard.
Michelle

Welcome to DRN Kim. Don't listen too much to gospeedracer and bbbom. They are part of the DRN Man Haters club, I think speedy is the president and bbbom is the seargent at arms. ;)

OUCH!! Alright, alright bbbom, I'm leaving. :confused:

Welcome Kim...I live in New Jersey if thats close (not). If you like the trails, contact SETRA. On my way to bike week this year I raced two SETRA enduros and had a great time (good break from ECEA enduros). I've learned as a woman rider in a man dominated sport (no offense, dudes) "That we weren't born with balls, we hafta' earn them!" In enduros, you definetly earn'em...

Ol'89er,

Man Hater's Club - no way!!! What would us girlz do for entertainment if it wasn't for you guys? Where else can we find such easy targets to make fun of?

If it wasn't for men we wouldn't have all the "male dominated" arenas to take over and improve upon!!!! :p

It's kinda like one of my favorite sayings:

Men have feelings too!


But who cares?!!!! :)
