Can I come down and play?

[Rooster]

You guys got any rides planned in the near future? I would like to come down and check out some MO riding yet this summer. I don't mind driving a ways.

Everyone here is too busy with other stuff, and I really don't like to ride alone anymore.

 

[biglou]

Absolutely! What side of the state are you on in IA? I-35 or I-29 should take you right on into KC. We usually have something going on most weekends, but occasionally we have bigger get-togethers planned. I'll keep you in the loop. :)

Well, for instance, there is a team harescramble on July 28th that BigLou and I will be riding. We might be able to find you a partner if interested.....

Hey RoosteR13 I am thinking of going up to St. Joseph on Saturday, The MX track is called Knobby Hill, http://www.knobbyhillmx.com/index2.htm
It is a decent track no hard pan and the track is fairly long, most of the jumps are good to, nothing to major. If anybody else is interested lets get a time and hook up. Man I am Jonesing really bad, haven't rode in almost 4 weeks.

 

[Rooster]

Thanks guys, I would love to be in the loop. I'm not into MX, got no talent, I'm into trails and strip mines.

I'm on I-35 in Ames, so it's not a real long haul to KC. I was also interested in the place near Finger Lakes (?).

Would really like to attend a mini-fest and meet some of you.

Thanks! :) :)

Rooster-Come on down for the team scramble next Sunday (28th July). It's a "no points" race. Should be good fun.

 

[Rooster]

What's the location, time etc. for this scramble? I would have to look hard at how late I would be home Sunday night (old fart recovery time, you know!).

 

[biglou]

It willstart around 10 AM on Sunday. Should be over by 3 or so. If you want to come down the night before, you are welcome to the couch or floor at Casa del Lou! The race is at Merwin, which is about a 40 minute drive from my house. I am exactly 200 miles from Des Moines.

 

[Jackyl]

Man, you'd probably love Finger Lakes then. (Strip mines.) I really like MX a lot, but have only ridden Finger's track, and down by Adrian. Though I'm not really good at it. ;) I have gotta check out that St. Joe track as soon as I get my rear wheel fixed. Can't wait to hook up with you guys.

So, you say this is a "team scramble". What exactly does that mean?

 

[biglou]

Two riders with the same number, trade off each lap, or you can ride two laps then trade, or three, or one guy can go two laps and the next guy can go one, etc. Or, really, one guy can ride the whole thing. They score by the bike number. And, it's a 3 hour race instead of 2.

 

[justql]

One bike or two Lou?? ha that rhymes.

 

[biglou]

Two, sorry! They had a lottle velcro medalion last year and you had to pull it off the front plate of the bike coming in and stick it to the front plate of the bike going out. I was pit crew last year since it was only a week after Blue Thunder and I had the head-on in the woods, but it was still a blast. One thing, it will be hot. Man, it's gonna be 100 this weekend. I'm afraid to guess what the temp might be next week! :(

 

[Rooster]

Sounds like a blast! :) :)

Thanks for the garcious offer Lou, but due to prior obligations on Saturday night, I'll have to pass on this one. :ugg:

I'm still up for a trail ride or something when I have enough time to drive down and set up camp somewhere.

Yes, it sounds like it will be hotter than hades again next weekend. Why can't it be like it is right now?!? This cold front feels nice! A three hour race, teammates or not, is going to be taxing! :eek:

 

[Wraith]

I heard they might set the scramble for a later date, due to the heat. Anyone heard any info on this?

 

[biglou]

Yes-It is postponed until Sept. 8th. Too bloody hot! Although, it is very nice today. Hopefully that cool front makes it down your way.

 

[Rooster]

I'll bottle some cold front up and send it your way! MN had 37 degrees this morning. Brrr, now that's a little much if you ask me. I had about 60 this morning, which is ideal weather...for sleeping :) and dirt biking :p .
