Sat. 12-21 El Mirage - kid play ride
- Thread starter JWW
- Start date
Must be nice to ride! Man all I can do nowadays is sit on my bike and make motorcycle noises and pretend to ride. BTW Mirage is going to be real wet. Wet got a lot of rain up here this week. May even get some snow at the higher elevations tommorrow. Welcome back to riding Jeff although Im jealous as hell.
I havent even touched the green monster. It still has all the Elsinore dirt on it. I do know that the radiator is bent and will need to be straightened. I think the top triple clamp and renthal bars are history too. I figure I have plenty of time to work on her so Im waiting till after the holidays. Joker you still riding out at Elsinore or are you back into the trail riding?
I don't think I've been riding since I experienced the fear that day at Elsinore.
I'm looking forward to getting back out. I'd like to try and make it to the lakebed saturday.
Placelast, if I can make it, and it's not raining, do you mind my tagging along? My built in riding partner is going to be taking a few months off to concentrate on school and grades.

Wow: sorry, guys: just got word Extra Shorty has a tournament tomorrow, and guess who has to drive...
Anyone want to go to the dez Sunday? I'm game for the 25th, and the following weekend, either day so long as we continue to get rain. Perhaps another (bigger) kid's day as I'm ready to get Shorty a bike.

Aaaaagh! I just made that last post before looking outside. It's raining - hardly an ideal day for a track ride, especially when I have to look out for the fast guys so they won't land on me (hard to do with rain soaked goggles). With my luck, none of the Big Kids will show up at Mirage for a longer Desert excursion. Maybe this last storm will pass through by morning. and the desert will be ideal for a Sunday ride.
Placelast: If the ride for tomorrow goes, let me know what type of terrain it will be. If it's going through boulder piles and I have to imitate Peter Lampkin, I'll bring the four stroke, If it's more "medium" terrrain" I'll ride the track bike. All tentatively, of course.
RMJeff: It seems that you go to Mirage with your son just when my daughter is off doing something else. We've been to Mirage many times...:smile:

You guys missed some awesome conditions.
nice moist dirt............excellent traction...........no dust
While Scar and Pvt Joker took off over the mountains my son and I did a 16 mile loop along the edge of the lakebed and the base of the mountains. That was enough for my knee so we started to pack up. As Cody and I were heading back to the truck we ran into Scar and Joker again. Unfortunately they were headed out to the desert to find Jokers truck key. Joker hooked up with YZAndrew while the rest of us split.
Did you ever find that key?

Yeah, things just kept going against us. Hope the rest of your day went a little better Pvt Joker. We did get a quick ride in though. Jeff said it best, the weather and dirt were awesome. Also learned a good lesson. Gotta get an extra key made and figure some way to stash it on the truck!
