[QUOTE="dp400, post: 575156, member: 24444"] Well the Sawmill was my first "real" enduro. Did the Piglet last month. I got a say - it was wild and I had a blast. I entered with three buddies and boy did we have a lot to talk about after the race. We stayed at my cabin at Clear Lake and were hoping but not betting on dry skies when we woke up for the race. It was raining just fine when we woke. On our way to the race we saw some trucks going the opposite direction - race canceld?? We came this far and wanted to give it a go. Race was a go and we were on min.84.First river crossing - wide and rocky but not to deep - two feet? Second crossing - about four bikes on the other side upside down - trying to get the water out. Guys poining this way and that to give a better line accross the river. Getting deeper but we made it through okay. Third crossing and there were bikes all over the place on the other side - guys kicking and kicking and a few bad words:-) - we had a good line through that crossing until we hit a hole - my seat went under water - OH SHOOOOOOOOOOOOiT - gased it and pulled out to the other side. It's on now!! Last crossing - at least a dozen bikes on the other side - upside down - on there sides - just a mess. There were also many guys in the river - trying to save there sunkin bikes. NO ONE wanted to cross this time!! There was alot of " go ahead buddy". It was like cattle not wanting to cross the deep river. Some would try - most stalled out and just tryed to get there bikes to the bank. Most were trying to walk there bikes accross - that worked best. I walked mine and worked my clutch like a mad man. Made it. I have no idea how long it had taken to get this far but it was only about two miles into the race. Only 82 more miles to go!! So much for wearing rain clothes. I knew this was going to make for at least a year of good stories. For as wet as it was the traction was good - even with my worn tires. At this point I was riding by myself . I was going up one long single track - riding in a deep grove when I saw this wave like flood water coming down twards me. It was soo strange! Rain turned to wipping hail to freezing snow. At check three they said the race had been called. The next river crossing was now too dangerous. I sure as hell didn't want to see another river but I was not ready to quit either. Bottom line : the club did a great job with what they had to work with. Hung out with the guys at check two for a while - good guys! I had lots of fun and have a hell of a story to tell around the camp fire. I also got to hang out with some good buddies for the weekend. Dan [/QUOTE]
