NETRA snowrun enduro

Did any of you race it?

 

[DANIEL JOSEPH]

If you want to call what we did racing, yes. It was more like slip'n and slide'n. Wasn't fun. Every C and B rider houred out most by check 5 and most A riders. Only about 20 riders finished out of somewhere around 120. On the bright side it was a beautiful day

A riding buddy described it as "a sixty mile slot car race". 12 inches of fresh snow made a cruel joke of the speed averages. Couldn't ride standing. Couldn't keep my feet on the pegs. Drink system froze and I set my personal best for most-crashes-in-a-single-enduro. At least the snow was soft!

What, no video?

I was working check #4 @ 17.2 miles. The AA's were already 12 to 14 minutes behind! The trail leading up to our check was a woods road. It looked 100 4" wide snakes had made their way up the road. I can't even tell you how many guy's were already houred out at our check but it was alot. I guess I made the right choice to work this one.

So you were one of the guys trying to convince me I was doing good, when I knew better.

Count me in. I was three minutes past my hour when I hit check 4. Nobody in my class made it much beyond that point.

 

[DANIEL JOSEPH]

That's right , that was check 3. I houred out by check 4 too. Gary and robbie were working check 4.

Hey, all some guys need is a "little" encouraging to keep going! One more check and you might of won you class. Daniel, it looks like we ride the same class, B senior. I was the "traffic director" at check 4. I don't remember any Gary or Robbie. It was Joe,Dennis,Joe, and I think Steve but I could be wrong on that one because I don't know him very well.

 

[DANIEL JOSEPH]

I'm wrong, Your right , those guys were at check 5 . I houred out at check 5, scored to check 4. Check 4 were the guys trying to tell us we were doing good when in reality we were sucking wind.

 

[slojo]

Ya that sounds like us. Maybe I shouldn't tell you but if you did quit at our check, we would have given you a beer! We did have one taker.

Oh ya now you make the offer. If I had stopped an had a beer it wouldn't have hurt my score any. Only one B senior rider got points and 8 B riders overall.

Bob Young took first in B Senior, and he only made it to check 8 or 9 before houring out.

 

[DANIEL JOSEPH]

Bob made it to check 8. I just wonder what's going to happen when all the C riders figure out no one is getting point.

Those are the breaks. The only advantage will go to any C riders who were working the event. Otherwise we all get slammed equally.

 

[slojo]

I saw one C rider made it to check 15. He rode C light I beleive.

 

[DANIEL JOSEPH]

One alleged C rider. He beat 3/4's of the A riders
