[QUOTE="fatherandson, post: 1030945, member: 21675"] I think Freddie and I were typing our reports at the same time. So I decided to cut/paste my memories into this post. Sunshine from South Carolina - Sandlapper -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can honestly say that we brought the sunshine back with us. As soon as we crossed the Michigan border to sun was out, but it was a lot colder than the 70s that we left in South Carolina. It was warm and sunny both days. The group that got there early on Saturday had the sunburn to prove it - Trashrider had the racoon look from the sunglasses. It was great to hang out on Saturday afternoon with the Michigan enduro gang - making last minute adjustments or major repairs. Freddy cooked the chicken, many of us brought side dishes and Deb Marsh sent the BROWNIES!! I think Fred fed 10 of us from Michigan - including Leroy and Katie - and we still had enough for chicken sandwiches on Sunday night. It was cold on Sunday morning, but not frozen. The bikes were locked up in the trailers - remember last year. By the start, the temperature was very comfortable. I was very happy to be riding my bike in the dirt, but I will never buy metallic brake pads again. I tend to ride the rear brake and that is not a good combination. We had a 3 mile warm up section - no checks, a five mile section, followed by two 11 miles sections in the morning. There was a lot of new trail in these sections and I have the battle scars on my arms to prove it. I did not check the scores at gas because I was changing the brake shoes back to semi metallic and changing goggles, jersey, gloves. We knew the final section would be long - 20 miles (no resets) and we expected a check in the middle. I had a lot more fun in the afternoon. I was able to get in a groove. About the time I would get tired the trail would open up into a field and it was time to let the 450 BREATH!!! In the end our fearless leader - Leroy led way with 22 points (7th overall), Trashrider dropped 48, I dropped 62, Don Marsh, 63, Smit Dog 75, Freddie 82 (after a long spell in an afternoon mudhole). We did not expect a lot of hardware - those suthin' boys are fast and they are in mid season form (I had not ridden since Goshen)) - and no one was disappointed. We saw some GRITS (but not as good as last year), but no BUTTER (IMHO). It was a great weekend. Warm weather, good friends, and no major injuries. To those who joined us... :aj: and to those who stayed home.... :nener: Trash, there is no better time than today to start planning for the 2007 trip! [/QUOTE]
