[QUOTE="AnneBrooks, post: 85678, member: 21408"] Buffalo Range sponsored their annual GP--woods vs mx riders! The course used the MX track plus 2 loops through the woods and clay hills. This time there was NO womens class, so I entered in the C class (and Sue Diaz also). We started out in the back (as usual) and did a section of the MX track then headed into the woods. There was a somewhat of a steep downhill at first, then rolling hills and a trail along the creek. Across the creek I saw a LINE of riders waiting to conquer a STEEP hill and riders scattered on the hill. Panic set in. I got in line with the rest of them and waited, and waited. Then the officials came and saw the bottleneck---and lo and behold they were going up a hill that WAS NOT even part of the course!!! Silly men! The hill we were supposed to go up was somewhat technical, but doable. After that it was more rolling hills then back out onto the MX track. Back into the woods, no big deal until I came upon this gnarly downhill!!:think It was infested with large roots and VERY steep! If that was not enough, there were 2 trees toward the bottom that kind of made a triangle--and guess who slid and aimed right for one of them! Talk about an eye opener!! I let off the brakes and cruised right through the middle of them. Scared the @#?! out of me! Then cruised the rest of the course until a check point. After the check point, I then saw a HUGE uphill (that I absolutely refused to do a few weeks ago riding with Bob and the guys!!) Only this time it was dry at the bottom and not muddy. I hugged the gas tank and took a deep breath and went for it!! No problem, what was I afraid of??;) Then no big deal, back out onto the track and started again. We rode for an hour and I actually had fun. On previous outings (my previous bad riding days) I have struggled with this section of the park and have pretty much refused to ride there. Needless to say this was a HUGE step for me, as I never wanted to ride over there, especially without Bob to help me along, had I gotten into any trouble. My buddy, Sue Diaz, will hopefully write her ride report of this race also. Sue did not fare as well. I just want to tell Sue that she is doing a GREAT job of riding this year (her 1st real year, I believe) and to keep up the good work! I am sure all of us have nursed many bruises and suffered the psychological trauma of doing an "endo" or "over the bars", so let's try to give her some encouragement to keep it up, as she will advance and soon be kicking my butt!:confused: [/QUOTE]
