Ok folks I have numerous people talked into it. We are looking to get two full Viewfinder minutes. More if possible since I think I may have talked two minutes worth into it already. Since there has been a big push by the Club Seceratary and G.P. rep I know that he will also buy a trail tech computer and do the Enduro Series next year. (Yes I am putting words in your mouth Chris, it is for a good cause so I am sure you understand completely.
I know it's early but it would be nice to have it all squared away when it comes time to pre-enter so that we can make it almost a trail ride with our buddies.

Bump. Flier came this weekend. New season. New bike (not 300 pounds) New (to me Acerbis Zoom chest protector to replace the mutilated one) New Rekluse clutch, Very exciting. We have one full minute ready to sign up. Do I hear two minutes...? Paul, Brian, Andre, Chris Donn, Klink, Bob, Pete? Yes, I am calling you out! Where are you guys???? We have fresh stock of Mangisil so you have no excuse not to race.
After all that talk about doing more races next year I expect to see some of you guys out there!
Hey Chris! How about a flier on this thread?
-
There you go!
I won't be able to make this one, things are pretty full for me already.
I will be going out New Years with fellow Viewies, at Jackrabbits on the 10th, Vegas the 21st-24th and then Dirt Diggers Feb 6th and hopefully Four Aces on Feb 14th.
I do hope to put my money where my mouth is for more races next year. I just hope things stay busy at work. ;)
-
Bob ? Yes, I am calling you out! Where are you guys???? We have fresh stock of Mangisil so you have no excuse not to race.
Guess I will have to take the "Mangisil" award for this race, and a few others :'(
I get to go riding on N Y weekend, then finish some home projects that I have been neglecting for several years. I need to put all my efforts into this and get R done ASAP so I can get back to riding/racing.
Second reason I need to get the projects done is so I can get my shed/garage cleared out of the materials etc and use it for storing the Rhino and bikes like it is supposed to be for. ::)
-
my dad and i were thinking about making this one. Still not sure yet
-Gumby
-
Yes Gumby! That is the spirit! I can't wait for our first open desert race together. We now have matching bikes and chest protectors. If it wasn't for the fact that you have those awesome vintage pants we might have some confusion in the pits.
By the way have you done any suspension work to your 200? What mix are you running in your gas?
-
im running 50/1 in my gas and my dad has done my suspension and its working awesome. What year bike did u get my dad might be able to help u out with the suspension. So does that mean we are in the same class now?
-Gumby
-
03 200mxc Yes we are no in the same class. Don't worry. You will beat me. I am old and slow.
-
its going to be a fun year
-gumby
-
Maybe for you. I will have to try to keep up!
-
Might have to change "the colors" to orange and black, frigen pumpkins everywhere !!
-
Aaron count me and Hudy in. There is a slim chance I will not be able to make it, I am going to have my shoulder surgery, dont have a date yet. Should be last of Jan or maybe Feb. Count me in for now, How do we handle the pre register thing?

Dont blame the shoulder surgery on all the front tire changes we have been doing on the Katoom (though lately it feels like the Ka DOOM!) I will see ya next week. Dont think i got anything from D37 when I signed up at RHR. Havent got any permanent number or anything. I will check tommorow when I get back home. If there is something I am supposed to do, please let me know. This whole desert racing/riding thing is super new to me (thanks Brian!).
Happy holidays to all

You wont be getting them until towards the end of the month. The final standing need to be "final" before they can send the numbers out.
-
Per Kelly DeJongh they should go out in the mail the week between Xmas and New Years.

May want to try and hook up w/ Norm and Lee. They have been talking about it! "Mr. T" Iles, AP on a 2 Hunny, Kawi Mat H. and I will be hogging up a minute!!! KJ

What? I have 2 Hunny's now? Well it is not as impressive as Tiger Woods but I guess I will just have to settle for 2...
-
Lee and I have sent our stuff off, Paul wants to race also but I'm sure he has not done anything yet. I will be seeing him this weekend, so as of now we will need 1 more person on our minute. We many enter the morning of the race and just sign up together.
We could use someone with the timing stuff and knows how to use it, cusz we have no idea.
Norm
-
Hudy and I are in the Same boat as norm. Jim want to take some enduro challenged out for a ride?
-
Hey guys, Jackrabbits are next! Your supposed to all be talking about how your coming to Jackrabbits, not this enduro stuff! :P
-
Hey guys, Jackrabbits are next! Your supposed to all be talking about how your coming to Jackrabbits, not this enduro stuff! :P
No no, enduros are far more important! It is like having the best parts of a race mixed with a trail ride with your buddies. If I were rich and had more time I would only do the enduros and night races in district 37 and add in the district 36 enduros.

I'll take the fourth spot on your minute Norm. I have the odo and roll chart holder but need some help with the timing deal. I have a clock but don't remember if its got seconds but I think it does. If you want someone else that has experience/enduro computer I understand. I'm a one looper though.
-

Can't make the wabbits wace :-[
Think we have some "Prescription Strength" Mangisil stuff somewhere around here :P

Hey Donn, That might work out, I plan on riding with RED numbers also. Paul and Lee are Nov I believe we do the same as they do. Should we just sign-up together at the Enduro ?
Norm

I would love to, but I can't. Medical reason! :'(
-
Lee has half a clue what to do. Iron Mike Hastings is the man if you can't get on KJ's (formerly Mcgrath"s) minute.
-
Anyone know if mike is coming out?
-

Signing up the day of is fine with me. I really want to figure out the time keeping thing. I alredy have the roll chart holder and odometer for DS rides and getting a clock is not a big deal. Just need to figure out how to use them!! I'm going to work on that though.
I'm in if you want to do it, the date works out well with my plans as there is a DS ride in ridgecrest 2 weeks after that.

Ironman Mike is going on a cruise in Januarsometime around UEA. Someone twist his arm and he may show. Donn talk to McG! Some roll charts coillate minutes and miles!!! KJ
-
Hudy and I still plan on attending, we may be learning with you KJ.
-
I just ordered a clock on ebay and that should complete my timekeeping equip. since I already have a odo and roll chart holder. According to the flier they have a "clinic" on Saturday before the enduro so maybe that will help.
-
Hey Donn,
A ICO procomp enduro computer just magically landed on the handle bars on my bike, I am currently trying to figger out how to program the thing - I think I'll be successfull - however keep on with the roll chart thing just in case I go over the handle bars like last year!
Lee

I 2nd that!!! ;D
-
Well I need to figure out the clock/odo thing as I don't see spending the dough for an ICO in the near future. Besides I'm not trying to be competitive, just have fun.
I have a roll chart program on my laptop that I Devon turned me on to. When they post the route next week I'm going to play with that. She said it was easy and intuitive. And it might help me understand this stuff better.
-
Thanks Kieth, you know that your support ALWAYS means so much to me. I'll just make sure that we get on a minute BEHIND you so you cant watch my superlative riding style - you sicko!
Lee
-
KJ what minute are we on? What's my number? First race of a new year. This is so exciting!
-
Who's heading out when? I plan on leaving straight from the office, should be there around dark on Friday. I know Tara never leaves before Sat. morning, what about the rest of you? Anyone planning on riding the poker run on Saturday?
-
Sunday. I should spend time with the mrs on Saturday since I am racing on her birthday.
-
I'm shootin for around noon or before on sat, Lee is heading out in the morning and they should be there way before lunch.
Looks like Paul will not be our fourth rider, so we have an opening. Anyone, Anyone ....
It would be nice if we could sign up on sat as the 3 of us will be there.
Norm

You're in, but we'll only be riding one loop and you need to go all 3!

I dont think I will be able to go, just got back from deer hunting and have way too much to do around the house :'(.
Hope to see you folks soon

As a B rider Norm goes 2 loops??? Do senior novices (Lee) go 1 loop or 2 ???
-

To quote the rule book, Article IX Section 3.q, ""B" Women, 30+(Vet)s, 40+(Sr)s and 50+ (Mag)s will ride the same distance as other "B" riders, except as noted below. "C" 30+(Vet)s and 40+(Sr)s will ride the same distance as other "C"riders. "C" Women, ""C" Senior Women and "C" 50+(Mag)s will ride one loop and receive 70% of the finish position points.
So it looks like Norm and Lee are two loopers, just REALLY OLD and SLOW guys like me do one loop.
-
Donn your new name is "Rulebook"
-
Donn your new name is "Rulebook"
That's OK, part of my job as district rep. This is quoted from the 2009 rulebook. I missed last weeks meeting so didn't get a 2010 copy but I know that section hasn't changed, it was recently updated to show Mag C to be the same as Mag novice.
-
I made the roll chart and can email it to anyone that is interested.
-
Is it a #7?

Is it a #7?
I have no idea, its the one you can make yourself. Doesn't show the "possibles"

Good luck out there guys, wish I could be there

SOO Howd Ya'll do out Dere ???
-
SOO Howd Ya'll do out Dere ???
I think Gumby did pretty well. He at least finished all 3 loops. KJ must have done really well judging by how he was bragging after the race >:( Donn lost half a lung somewhere on the first loop then came back to camp and hacked up the other half. Lee had odo problems and ended up just riding. I think Mr. President overalled the first loop. (actually I just can't remember what he did. They all however beat me. :'(

Had a recovery mission to pick up Aaron and his broke down "new" KTM. That was after I finished my one loop. Been fighting that damn cold since New Years and it didn't make it any easier to try to "race". I think I dropped like 800 points on the first loop, it certainly wasn't "family friendly" as advertised.

Not true! Compared to the Burro Enduro it was a family friendly ride down a smooth dry lakebed. Thanks again Donn and Julian.

First Aaron blamed the Husky for not finishing, now the KTM, Hmmm ??
I know what you mean "fighting that damn cold", I tried to beat it, but it beat me, I feel 150% better after a week of antibiotics, antihistimines, cough medicine :o
-
Fun weeked... Good to see everyone!
Thanks to Jacob Clements for riding the poker run with me in the rhino - that sandwash was a blast!
Donn gets much respect for riding with half a lung intact; flat Mat lived up to his name; Lee said Fifty isn't nifty trying to ride after a 4 day cruise; Gumby also rode injured - burned his hand that morning on a hot skillet handle, sucked it up and rode; Good to see Toodles, Jeff Clements, Mr. Miagi, Yard Sale Price and Jonesy lining up this weekend!
-
Yard sale?

Come On, Ya gots to have a better story that that, like hot E-Pipe or radiator ?? ;D

SO what happened to Aaron and the Katoom ???
-
I agree with Kandy. A great nick name for Aaron. Yard Sale fits you perfectly. Isn't that where you buy most of your bikes and parts? ??? ;D

Jim got this one right.. Aaron you showed up to race with a bike that was like you drove by a yard sale, grabbed it and slapped some numbers on it... hahaha.. missing bolts, screws, etc. Lucky for you Julian was around ;D
-
Ouch.
-
Ouch.

I finally gave in and went to the doctor yesterday. Come to find out it's only a cold! But its lingered now for three + weekds! Sorry, no great and wonderful stories that I rode the enduro with pneumonia.
-
Kinda surprised Donn... we were loving the story about you riding with pneumonia with one lung tied behind your back.. Take care of yourself, you don't want it getting any worse.

Jonathan might be stud it's hard to tell as he only speaks when spoken to. I heard so much whinning after the first loop I thought I was in Napa. We asked Jonathan how"s your hand after the first loop he said "it hurts" Are you going to do another loop? "Yep".
-
Out of 9 members only 2 finished their required loops! Don't let the other OLD GUYS tell ya they only had to do 1 loop??? They should have read the riders instructions ::) Fortunately enduros get a finish if you start and go like 200 yards. NO desert points though ;D Gumby did man up w/ the burnt hand! Way to go!!! I need to thank Julian for fixing my fuel problem Saturday night or I may have been a casualty also!! _.._ _.._ _.._

Not true Mr. Jones. The riders instructions were wrong. Mag. Nov. onlly goes one loop per D37 rules. So Lee and I SHOULD get a "finish" although as of right now they show me DQ for not going the distance, how does that work? But they show Norm as just ponts down for only doing one of the two loops he was required to do. We'll wait and see what the real "unofficial results" have to say. I've already contacted Ryan Wilson and he is aware of the conflict. I tried to straighten it out on Saturday but nobody wanted to listen.
But the real stud is Gumby. First riding with second degree burns on his right hand, second for toughing it out and finishing all 3 loops, even after his time keeper dropped out.
-
I heard so much whinning after the first loop I thought I was in Napa.
Yea, but didn't see your sorry ass out there did we? Something about, "I won't ride if its only going to be one loop, not worth it". I think your pussy hurt before you even started.

Yes, Mr. Rulebook did explain this on trhe message board, but then I heard someone had discussed this w/ the ref and his point is that it is a club discrectionary thing. Wondered why the 3 of you were in street clothes when we finished loop 2 ??? You weren't on any of Aaron's meds were you? :D
