I think I saw you there, you have DRN fender stickers on your CRF, right? I was on a white XR200R, #26. I ended up racing novice big wheel, and got 3rd, although I later found out that around half of my class (including the guys that placed first and second) cut half of the track on the first lap. The guy that got the holeshot only got passed by one person- me, so it turned out I should've been first, but I guess that's racing. I tried riding the intermediate-pro course but said screw it after 6km, I just couldn't get up those hills.

Right now I'm working on my parents about possibly going to the Squeal'n Pig HS and Ogopogo CC this upcoming weekend but it's not looking good. Getting over there is one problem, but the race entry fees are EXPENSIVE, thanks to the requirement to have a CMRC license. My mom is really helping me try to get to races, as I know that I can do quite well (I should be able to be in the top 5 in Junior Under at PNWMA events). I'll see about the Colville and July Long weekend rides. If you're ever down here in Trail, drop me a line, I'm always up for going riding.

The Ogopogo this year is gonna be awesome. I've ridden part of the course and it goes along all the usual trails i ride. One word of advice: it's gonna be dusty as hell unless it rains a whole lot the night before. But the Ogopogo is usally a dust bowl anyways. Its on my home turf this year; Peachland, no more of that bear creek crap. ;)

How does this year's course compare to last years and the year before's course? I enjoyed the bear creek course, and I don't mind the dust, it's all part of racing. I'm hoping I can make it, just need to scrounge up some cash for entry fees.
