[QUOTE="jat250wr, post: 1195698, member: 65094"] I think after this wash was a fast, rocky, loose downhill. I smoked a couple more guys down this. You heard me right, I passed some guys on a downhill!! Never did that before. Now I’m feelin even more at ease and having a blast. But I know something is gonna come up soon. Come on, where’s the silt and sand and ruts? Oh ****. I can see there’s a climb ahead and a small bottleneck of riders trying to get up it. It turns out it’s a whooped out, rutted silt hillclimb with big holes in it. I’ve never done a silt climb, so I quickly find out I don’t have enough momentum to get up it. Get stuck about halfway up. Damn. Well, I get the bike turned around and take a break at the bottom. I’m now watching all the guys that I passed go right by me. Sweet. When I’m ready I give it a second try and make it ¾ the way up and get squirrelly again. I can see and hear that off to my right a guy has managed to bury his bike to the swingarm, lol. I have no idea why he kept twisting the throttle. All he was doin was digging his self deeper. My immediate thought was … I know at least I’ll get out of my predicament before you will, lol. At this point the sweep rider comes up and helps me lift the front tire back on to the main trail and holds the back for me while I kick it over and get going again. I’m pretty tired now and quite pissed at myself for letting all those boys get their places back. I did however manage to give myself credit for never tipping over or crashing tho. Kept the bike upright the whole time. So I finally arrive at the first check point and Velo and the check people were like WTF, lol. I then mention that I had to try twice at the silt hillclimb before making it up. By the way, this is only like 15 or 20 miles into lap 1. I still have another 15 or so miles to finish lap 1 and then continue for laps 2 and 3. Velo motions for me to ride in front. Poor me. I can’t be trusted in a race with a partner to ride behind them, lol. Sheesh, I suck. At some point we get lead to some high speed jeep track and some singletrack. Awesome!! I’m pretty sure I was able to carry more speed on the single track stuff than in the past. It even had ruts and silt. Well, there’s a bit of a confidence boost that I needed. [/QUOTE]
