[QUOTE="gospeedracer, post: 287092, member: 17307"] Sheesh, now I feel kind of bad. I guess my best side doesn't really 'shine' through all that well when I'm tired and cranky. My apologies to anyone who may have been within earshot of me during a few moments of, lets say less than contentment. :o Well my ride report seems to be very similar to everyone else’s. The first loop was very easy. It was a lot of fun and allowed plenty of spare time to play around and try to thoroughly coat Thumbs in mud at every available opportunity. Once the single track began the ‘playing around’ was over. I only had one opportunity to take advantage of a 10-minute break on the 2nd loop, after that it was time to haul arse since I was running late. I feel your pain Loco, or rather ‘felt’ your pain. It would seem your name was not the only one on that limb! I got thumped so hard my ears were ringing! This section was the soul reason for the first of my out bursts. :eek: I’m dodging branches left and right, my goggles where knocked off and I augured into one of the banks on the side. I went down 2 or three times and was getting very frustrated because I was making stupid little mistakes. Poor NVR FNSH, he always seems to happen upon me during my worst moments. Sorry about taking you out in that turn. I had no idea what I hit; I just looked over and wondered why you were on the ground. ;) Although I suppose I could consider it payback for honking at me on the trail! Thumbs and I were also among several that missed a turn due to a sign that fell down and ended up re-riding a few miles over again. It was while I was re-running this section that I happened upon Kali. Apparently she had launched her bike pretty good into the bushes and was exhausted from wrestling with it then trying to start it. I got it started for her and rode it up the hill a bit to a more level area then went back to retrieve my bike. From there we rode together to the finish. My knees pretty much gave out on me around mile 40. I was experiencing searing pain when I would try to stand and when I would try to sit. I can’t say there was anything technically beyond my abilities in this enduro but the “endurance” thing is definitely something I’ve got to work on. 60+ miles is just too much for me at this point in time. I’ll try it again sometime when I’ve had a chance to put more long rides under my belt. Kudos to Farmer John and TMC for all their hard work and for putting up with crackpots like me and wiseasses like Thumbs. ;) It was a real pleasure to meet KTMchick and her fiancé Mick. What a fun couple. KTMchick and I swapped bikes on Sunday for a bit. Wow, the 400 is smooooth. I just can’t thank you enough for your hospitality on Sat night Brian. You saved my hide, literally! Excellent company, the kind of riding that leaves you exhausted, good food and laughs, what more could one ask for?! :) [/QUOTE]
