Attention Ladies

I know that there are several of you that are out there who would really like to take a stab at riding an enduro but have never done it. This year myself (Nicole) and Kerrie Brokaw are holding a special class at the Pine Ridge Enduro in Nebraska on April 27th and 28th. We will all meet on the 27th to go over how women should set up their bikes, what kinds of tools to carry (and how to use them:scream: ), and basic enduro rules. On Sunday they will put 2 riders per row (we will be close but not on the same row so that we will not cause any problems with the men) and Kerrie and I will be at the back to help you through. It will be a great experience and www.mooseracing.com has graciously decided to sponsor this event so count on some cool things.

You do not have to pay for Saturday's class with Kerrie and I but you will have to pay to enter the event.

We can consider car-pooling (anyone coming from Colorado or nearby).

It will be fun so don't miss out. Pick on the following link to sign up with me and then I will make sure to get you a entry form for the actual enduro. Sign Up

Rod,

You are more than welcome to come (I guess) Maybe I should ask all the girls first!!!

PS Have I met you yet? I don't think we have. I have probably seen you. Be sure to introduce yourself to me in Neb because I won't be at too many other races.

I see people ride bike I WOULD NEVER think of riding but hey what can you say. Is she short too? The DR would probably work fine but remember since it is an enduro and you are timed you have to ride fast enough to keep from houring out. She could certainly sign up and agian if she is not comfortable with it then she can pit for us. The Saturday class and free stuff is worth going since Saturday is free but she would need to sign up for the Sunday ride too! I suppose I could ride it up the nasty hills.;)

Katie,

You don't need to be "Street Legal". They just recommend it. You do ride on some country roads but since they have permission to run the event you DON'T have to be street legal. The only thing you NEED to have is a spark arrester. CJ said you have one on order too! I have a plate for my bike but I have never put it on. You Don't need mirrors or honors. You bike as it with a spark arrestor is all you need.

Maps - I wish they would give maps, then we would know exactly where the checks are. They don't give you anything but a route sheet which Kerrie and I will explain the day before the enduro. We will have to teach you the basic rules. Remember my idea was to guide women (who have never competed before) through an event. When you get to be really fast then time keeping and the rules are important. This event will just help you to understand what an enduro is all about. The event is in Chadron this year (Last year it was crawford.) We will start at the fairgrounds and ride from there and finish there.

The entry says to be "Waterprofed" What they mean is if it rains and the mud holes are big make sure you take up your air filter. This really applies to the A and B riders. 2 years ago it rained hard and at about mile 90 my engine got stuck in a big rutt. I was in the process of getting it out but since I am 125 lbs and the bike is 217 lbs the guy behind me just got impatient. So he picked my bike up and threw it over the edge into a very deep water hole. I was NOT water proofed and my bike would not start for several hours. I don't foresee us having that problem. If Kerrie and I decide it is too bad we will stop. (It does not always rain but if it does :eek: )

The event will be about 50 miles long just so you know. Some of that is resets and some is on roads but some on trails so just be prepared. We will love to have you and Moose has some cool things for us.

Whenever you want lessons I am more than happy to teach you. Sometimes I am down that way towards Colorodo Springs and Pueblo and I can teach you. Or if you ever come to Vail I can teach you as well.
