[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 137201, member: 22283"]
I ride MX and practice on natural doubles on a track laid out on 40 acres of great trails and jumps.
I have friends who race hare scrambles and they are talking me into trying it. I have never even attended a hare scramble and I have a few questions. I have a full-on MX bike, and I don't plan on modifying it for woods riding, but I do need to know what to expect in a hare scramble.
Apparently the course that I may try out is a 7 mile course. I understand that the race will consist of a two hour time limit.
Will I need to consider hydration for such a race?
Should I have a fanny pack or something to carry a spare plug?
My MX'er only holds 2 gals of gas...is this enough? (doubtful) and is there a re-fueling period in scrambles?
I was also surprised when my pal told me in his first scramble he actually leaned agaisnt a tree for a few minuets to rest, yet came in third!  :think Hmmm....
I'd really appreciate any input from veteran scramblers.
Thanks.
