National Enduro #3 Georgia

[lpracing77]

I plan on riding the National on March 16th in Georgia. I have never ridden there before and I am hoping some one can tell me what kind of terrain I can expect to encounter. Rocks, roots, mud, sand, clay, whoops. What would be the best choice for tires, ETC. Any help will be appreciated very much. – Lloyd

the cherokee enduro is georgia red clay and lots of roots. Usually very slick with maybe some mud.

OK, then I should run full mud tires like Dunlop D773's or something similar. Anyother sdvise out there ? ? ?

I didn't think last year's race was all that muddy. If I go this year, the tires will be Michelin M12 front and S12 rear. They cover everything pretty well.

Guys...we have had quite a bit of rain in December. We ride near GBoro a good bit and the if we can keep the rain down a bit over the next six weeks it should be fairly good.

All it takes is a nice rain storm the week before and you can count on Georgia snot, plenty of roots and ruts. How could you ask for more fun than that?

I have ordered a set of Michelin S12's to use at the Alligator and then the Georgia National. I'll keep an eye on the weather also. Thanks everyone - Lloyd
