[QUOTE="D36-108A, post: 541639, member: 37268"] Saturday Afternoon For my Saturday afternoon loop I joined NVR FNSH, Unkle Moose, RetSenior, Farmer John, and a cast of thousands. We got into the whoops almost immediately. They were a larger species, Whoopus Nevadus, characterized by their soft, deep, sandy soil, great depth, and wide spacing. The alloy wonderbike demands aggressive whoop riding, keeping the front wheel light and skipping across the tops. However, it takes a lot of attention and energy, and I couldn't keep up the pace. I settled for rolling over most of them. After the endless whoops, we were rewarded with the mother of all wash trails. It was an E-ticket roller coaster ride downhill, with good traction, big berms, and only a few rocks. We liked it so much we headed back up it. If you ever saw McGrath and Steve Lamson "geek riding" you know what I looked like. Somewhere along the way a guy on a showroom-new WR450F joined us. The only riding gear he had was a helmet; he wore rain pants over jeans, under which were white socks and oxford shoes. I figured the dealer must have pitied him and thrown in a free helmet with his new bike. The consensus was he was a non-DRN local. We hit some nice single track going down the side of a hill. It was unusually dark, packed soil, and was one of the best trails of the day. Somewhere around there RetSenior broke his chain and the group started falling apart. It was getting late so we wanted to head back to camp. Farmer John headed back to rally the RetSenior group, while Unkle Moose and the rest of us were to follow the fence line and at least one of us was to wait for the other group at a trail junction. Unkle Moose waved me on and I rode along the fence line until I got to the roller coaster wash, where I ran into LongTime, CJ (?) Rider, and TTRguy from Missouri. (Those Show-Me state people must really love to ride!) They went down the wash while I stood guard so nobody else would go down when they came back up. It must've been fun coming up knowing there wouldn't be any oncoming traffic. TTRguy came flying up on a very loud 200 pumpkin (gospeedracer's bike, sans silencer end cap). We saw a group parallel the fence line a few hundred yards away, and it looked to be Farmer John with the RetSenior group. I thought they were supposed to ride the fenceline back. Oh well. I followed my new group up the fenceline, and Unkle Moose and company soon joined us. The fenceline trail was seriously whooped-out and my left leg soon got whooped out itself with a painful charlie horse. Riding those whoops all day was like doing a few thousand repetitions of weightlifting squats. LongTime on his Gas Gas led us back to camp safe and sound before dark. That was a much better loop than the stop-and-go ride I did in the morning. [/QUOTE]
