[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 81976, member: 20316"] Okay, well I was dreading the hare scramble I had to race this weekend, and with good reason. I had committed months ago to be Becky’s partner in a gnarly, technical hare scramble in north Idaho called the Muddy Butt. I had planned on being able to have my new bike sooner than I ended up getting it so I thought I would have more seat time to get used to the bike. I should never have gotten out of bed that morning. It took me 2 hours to ride 12 miles of a 15 mile loop. I endoed, looped, crashed, washed out, and just plain fell over. By the end I was so tired and beat I couldn’t hold the clutch in and kept stalling; I fell over many times because my legs were so tired I couldn’t hold myself up when I went to put a foot down. I have NEVER quit a race before and doing so now did NOT make me happy. I didn’t cry but I wanted to. I feel like I bought a very expensive, cool bike that I can’t even ride!!!! I know, I haven’t had it very long, and my riding skills may not have been up to this race even if I still had the XR but I was SO %&*& frustrated!!! I went riding at a mx track on Sunday and turned in some halfway decent laps—I can run the whoops in 3rd gear now, (I LOVE whoops!) and I was jumping a little and trying to really attack the corners. I do enjoy mx and Steve (my self-appointed personal trainer) says I look better every lap. I’m just a little irked since I always considered myself a woods rider and now I’m better on a track than I am on trails. One of these days, though, I might be fast . . . [/QUOTE]
