[QUOTE="Bob Brooks, post: 166832, member: 21253"] I thought the course was a lot of fun and that you guys did a great job with it yesterday. In my opinion, it was a very good use of the available land at Buffalo. The ravine section that Ryan referred to was very cool. It reminded me of the some of the ravines and gorges I saw last fall at Crawfordsville, Indiana. I did have one problem that could've been avoided, however. About halfway through the race, I crossed the wooden bridge and if everyone noticed, there was chain link on that wooden bridge. As I was crossing the bridge, my front tire apparently kicked up the chain link and it tangled up in my rear brake pedal, locking my rear wheel up solid and high-siding me off the bridge. That wasn't any kind of fun. After I got out of the ditch and back on the bridge, I had to untangle the chain link from my rear brake lever and since I didn't have any wire cutters with me, I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. After several minutes of cussing and wrestling with it by hand, I was able to free my brake lever and continue with the race. It wasn't really anyone's fault, just a total, freak, dumb deal but after it happened I questioned why the chain link was there in the first place. It was an unnecessary hazard that bit me, but I completely understand that it's impossible to walk the entire course and eliminate all potential hazards. Hundreds of riders must've crossed that chain link during the day with no problems, but it just happened to get me, dumb luck. Other than that unfortunate incident, I had a great time. We ride at Buffalo quite a bit, and we were very impressed with the layout of the course and the use of the land. I wish we had more events like this. We'll definitely be back next Sunday for the race at Trumbo's Farm. That should be a fun one too. Thanks again for putting on the Buffalo race and congratulations to Ryan on another fine ride. No offense to Hofmaster and the motocrossers who participated, but it was nice to see the woods guys prevail. I also heard a lot of rumbling prior to the race that Hofmaster was going to "smoke everyone." Well, he certainly smoked me, but I was glad to see Ryan and some of our local fast guys lead him to the finish. I believe Ryan is right though, with some handguards and a little more experience in the woods, I'm sure Hofmaster would be a bear. He was certainly a missle on the MX track and no slouch in the woods as it was. [/QUOTE]
