Hey guys,
I took my bike out to Trophy Club today and rode. Since it was 24 years since I was on a dirtbike I rode in the beginners area for a bit just to make sure I remembered what side the clutch and brake were on. It was fun, I moved up by the "C" area and rode some trails in there too. I accidentally got into some Expert only area and got into some stuff I was more than a little freaked on but make it through. All in all it was a great time. There are some people out there that really should not be from a safety/common sense standpoint. I coulda' swore I saw Darwin peeking out from behind the trees a few times winking at a few folks :)
Anyway I am going to take a little time to get 100% comfortable but I got the whole bike off the ground a few times and had a blast. Only down once and as predicted it was a low/speed bury the front end affair that left me a little dusty but none the worse for wear.
Hope to see some of you out there. I will probably run Trophy Club a few more times to get happy cause it is near home, but then will venture out further.
Hope you guys rode and had a good time...it was really nice out.
