[QUOTE="MCassle, post: 587704, member: 22945"] I'm glad I braved a four-hour drive of solid rainfall on Friday to make this event! The central valley of CA was a deluge of rain, with a slight let up over Tehachapi and the beautiful high desert. Arrived at camp late Friday night, with off & on rain. Oh man, this is great for the course I kept on thinking. Managed to find Deans trailer, and proceeded to bum yet another bed from him for the weekend ;) Thanx Dean, your hospitality is much appreciated … and it sure beats sleeping in the bed of my truck, especially when it is raining! Saturday was wet in the morning, with it letting up at times all through out the day. Managed to put in a solid fifty or so miles of high desert terrain just to check both trail conditions & the bike overall since it is still fairly new. Biggest thing I noticed was the complete lack of dust ... what a treat in the desert :) Went from Charles place to the Sand Hills to out on the other side of Trona road, some good stuff over there btw. Back in time to enjoy the she-male contest or whatever that was! (don't ask, those crazy TWMC members J ) Very strong rainfall hit the Sand Hills area on Saturday evening, kinda eerie to be able to view it from camp where it was not raining much (these areas are only 3-4 miles apart). Afterwards we were all viewing the hugest rainbow I have ever seen ... very beautiful against the flora & fauna of the high desert. Not much partying for me on Saturday night, and it seemed there wasn’t much in our immediate vicinity due to the winding & cold weather. Camp fire cleared out by 10pm as a matter of fact, which is just as well … I need all the rest I can get for the task at hand Sunday morning … Wind rocked the trailer all Sunday night, and I was hoping that was blowing out the cloud cover. My prayers were answered when I was greeted by blue skies come Sunday morning. I had actually managed to drag my wife out here for a day & night, so for the first time ever she was able to see me start a dirt bike event. Even though starts at an enduro are not all that exciting (vs. motocross lets say), she got a kick out of it :) Course was great, one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of riding on. 20.5 mile loops, none of it so hard that I wasn't enjoying myself ... I had a huge **** faced smile the entire time! Lot's of hills and not-so-whooped out sand washes with [i]no dust[/i] until the middle of loop 2 when the sun & wind had managed to dry out the top layer of terra firma. Even then by the time I finished somewhere in the 3rd loop I wouldn't say the dust was ever overwhelmingly bad. At the end of the amateur section I noticed the gas-gas bike parked off to the side of the trail while we waited for the last of the riders to come through the check (we pulled ribbon backwards on the course at that point), and thought to myself, 'hey, Eric has one of those ... ' *doh* turns out it was Eric! haha That area of the desert is quickly becoming one of my favorite areas to ride ... here's to hoping that it stays open in the future! Matt [/QUOTE]
