[QUOTE="Fred T, post: 1218830, member: 22413"] Unfortunately I think this club is real challenged on membership and help. They hardly had any check in't to sections (Lots got away with going in early) and one OB check only had 1 guy. I was most dissappointed that they keep jacking up mileages, clock and check placments every year and throwing checks out. As far as the event it self, it was good. Mother nature was a little, well a lot hot under the collar. It was 90 degrees by 9 Am and got to 98 degrees by the time we started on row 28. The trail was good stuff, some of it was pretty technical from a log placement, angle perspective. For me near the end I got jacked up a couple times :bang: and had to drag the bike up off the ground and push it over some precarious log jams-that in 98 degree humid heat at age 52 takes a toll on me and i got tired for the last section and half. :uh: I checked into the last section 2 minutes late. It was a section we rode twice and for me it was the most fun, but the second time through i was just trying to stay on the bike, stay upright and make reasonable time. Tyhe old guys, B and C riders did not ride the last "A" section which was on the "Sun Club" property so we didn't see any bares but that was OK with me because I didn't want to ride any more any way and that last 10 mile section I was told was real tight and gnarly and I had no more arm strength. I enjoyed camping, cook and hanging out with my friends and doing much better there than last year. It was more of a "summer sizzler" than a summer bummer. It was the hottest race I ever rode, I missed the Marquette heat race due to injury but was told this one was vary comparable -the heat makes it a real challenge. :nod: I guess we can complain about races that are less then perfect and each race seems to have opportunities but I am just glad to be able to ride enduros, even as flawed as they are because there are many parts of the country that are losing land and just don't have enduros any more. I will go back next year and they will probably screw it up again but I still get to ride some nice trail and thats what matters the most to me. [/QUOTE]
