Message: [QUOTE="JasonJ, post: 1097130, member: 23758"] Cool Pictures! I got up there nice and early Sat AM. It still was not early enough for RM guy who decided to push the ride time up the night before from 9:30 to 9! I was able to get signed in and catch up in the play area. I was rusty on the bike since I have not riden much yet this year. Fall is the peak of my dirt bike season as my summer sports start to trail off and I like bing in the woods more. We set out on the A ride and the pace was quick so I got warmed up fast. The weather was playing havoc with our eyewear so I quickly scrapped my goggles and advised all to do the same. It took a while but they did. Felt bad for RM guy but hey dude, get some contacts! Oh and get yourself an ab lounge or a tred mill or something. We would ride like fire for 10 mins then stop for 10. He blamed it on his glasses but it only takes 10 seconds to cear your lenses! The old sock on the handel bar is looking like a good idea now ay? Anyway, we could see that RM guy was getting whooped. Normaly we are comfortable riding behind him but CRF guy was pushing the pace feeling spunky on his new pumpkin bike and throwing passes and pushing the pace so we soon engaged in full on trail rat mode pushing each other and takeing advantages of mistakes. Speaking of wich, my bike hit neutral more that day than I care to recall, I think it needs an oil change,,, BAD! I passed CRF guy at good speed and then practicaly stopped in front of him when I hit neutral then stalled on the face of a rock! Lots of fun though. In the afternoon RM guy quitley hid in the B ride when we were staging, you cant really hide when you have a yellow bike and a pink skirt though :nener: . I tried to recruit at least one more rider, Roo was looking around when I was pointing at him like "who me?". So anyway the 3 or us set out for some ripping! It had actualy went from mist to rain and the damp trails were getting sloppy. We had alot of fun. I had switced to amber cycling glasses from goggles and boy what a differance that makes! I was soon however really pushing my wasted tires. At sevral points I had my bike sliding sideways with the back AND FRONT tires in power slides around turns! That was kind cool! We attacked a large hill, Cherokee ridghe I thik and I bobbled and stopped only there was no stopping, just a momentary null in momentum before gravity and grade had me sliding backwards. Its been a long time since I didnt make a hill, but I remembered what to do, throw the bike and roll over backwards to try and get your feet down hill! I tried to recover and restart but I was in a wash ditch on a HILL! It took me 5 minutes of WR wrestleling to get it turned around. I found a spot where I could turn around and attack again. Just about the same spot I stopped last time, I see CRF and Brpray coming down, I bobbled and whent to downshift, what do you think happened? NEUTRAL!!!!! :yell: . I turned the bike around again and we just went back up Howie to get were ever we were going. I was whooped from my hill slog but recovered quickly and finished out the session. Lots of fun. Great day of riding, and great night of camping. I got to camp, had a beer and took a shower. By the time I got back those boys had a full on buffet going. I had deep fried chicken whings, french fries, two cheese burgers and some rice and beens. I was full, but I just kept eating! Thanks for the food guys, I didnt even open the stuff I brought with me! We started a fire and sat for some beers. We shared our war stories from the day and laughed over how CRF guy went from raving about his bike to desecrating it because his fancy pantsy computer stoped working. I mean, he was TORE UP over that mile minder! Too funny :rotfl: All the riders were pretty whooped but we had a good time. I think I was the last to bed at 10:30. My tent held up fine to the rain that night, oh yeah, I sleep in my van :p . Best $500 I ever spent, but of corse I dont have a dampener on my bike yet then either :boss: . By the time I woke up, 7:30 camp was broken and the only ones left were Roo and Squeek. We said our good bys and I packed up got a snack in the office and went for the start of a full day of riding. I was the first one in our area of the lot. Man the fog was thick and I could not even see the office trailer! CRF guy then rolled in. Awesome, I thought he might bail! he rolled in and said, he was not sure he wanted to ride cause he saw the weather and it said it would rain. Really? how bout that. Rain huh? Anyway we bailed! how embarasing. I could have geared up and rode but I would have to hook up with some quads and get lost and they would blame me Im sure and ride slow, yada yada. Anyway just as I was heading out of the park the rain started and fell quite heavy at times, thick fog, but I made decent time and got home to my very surprised and happy girl. I really was quite sore that night and the next day to. Hopfully Im in better dirt bike shape now. I would have liked to have ridden with everyone, but it jsut didnt happen this time. I also have nill for pictures since our group was small, fast, and otherwise uneventful LOL. Ok, untill the next time. Jason. [/QUOTE]
