I'm up for ALL the enduros this year. Let me know who's minute I can be on please.

I think we can get two full minutes depending on Jim and Todd. They seemed to be on the fence. KJ already has my entry. I should be there.
-
We will be going.

Let me know asap. If the first minute is full I'll start another for Terry and I and ??
-
I WISH I was up to it, but 40+ mile first loop might be too much right now.
I am thinking about the Saturday part ??? But need to wait and see how NY's goes and some other projects I am involved with right now.
-
I will not be doing any Enduro's next yr, I'm limited to how many races I can attend so they will most likely be Scrambles and Euros.
Norm

Plans change i am now free for that weekend.If there is room on Todd and Gumbys minute count me i please!!! ;D ;D ;D

Hey Terry and Gumby,
I am planning on coming out on Saturday and doing the Family Enduro too. I have a newbie that wants to ride Sunday so the two of you would make it a full minute Let me know if you have signed up yet. Pre-entries close Thursday, so if you have signed up I will ask that we all be put on a minute, and if you haven't I'll ask them to save the spots.
Thanks and see you there!
-
hey KJ are we minute 11? I saw 11D on your bike this weekend.

-
Oh, you'll be my nieghbor, 20 minutes away.
-
Hey Tod tell them to save a spot on your minute, I should be out with my dad Saturday morning
-gumby

OK, we are either going to sign up online, or might just go over there Saturday when they open and we can all sign-up. Dont think it will make much difference in minute assignment this close.
I may go out Friday night, but for sure will be there Saturday AM in time for the family enduro

I'll be out Friday night. Probably pretty early to beat the traffic. Doubt I'll ride the FE, need to save my legs for 90 miles on Sunday :o

Route Sheet for UMC is up on the D37 Enduro Message Board! See ya Saturday afternoon. KJ and Tara
ps I say "Leave the light on" Tara asks " Leave the trash out" ::)
-
Hey Gumby,
I signed up on-line and asked them to hold a spot for you and another for a friend coming out with me. She emailed back OK, so just let them know when you sign up. Leaves one spot on our minute if anyone else is interested.
See you guys Saturday

How was it?
-
it was fun, all three loops were tons of fun second was a little harder than the third i think. I think i did pretty good but i really dont know. Todd called it quits after the second loop, Keith finished both loops, I believe Aaron is yet to finish a race on the mutt....this time the mutt didnt give up on him, he gave up on the mutt. I saw Lee on the last big up hill on the second loop about 5 miles from the finish so im pretty sure he made it. Donn was catching his breath after a down hill into a check on the second loop, he didnt finish the second loop, and Todd's friend ( I cant come up with the name right off) finished both loops and was riding really well, im sure he did good in his class.
-
My Mangina HURTS!!!!
I was totally beat about 2/3 through the second loop when I came to the "hill from hell" and bailed. It was total carnage on that hill, bikes/bodies everywhere. I went out and around and knew I was screwed so took a DNF, I was about 30 minutes from houring out anyway.
Then on the way home my diesel conked out again. Had to be towed home from Apple Valley, that's twice now with the truck and trailer. There's a new Duramax in my immediate future! Got home at 9:00, unhooked and eating dinner at 10:30.
I thought the course was pretty fun up until that stupid hill. Lots of tricky ups and downs and tight trails through the rocks. Just too far for my old out of shape body.

Any idea what happened to the truck ??
Thats gotta suck, already tired and beat up from the Enduro and then having to deal with the breakdown.

Donn nailed it! "STUPID UPHILL" I saw no way around w/o a DNF! If you weren't an accompliished rider and carried some momentum approching the hill while bouncing off of rocks in silt, it took 10 minute to do the worst 10 ft of shale face (almost vertical) part of the hill while leaving 10 mi of rubber on the rock face. Or, do like Todd and Gumby and help each other push and pull. Lee's idea of grab a hand full and ghost ride the bike and hope it made it over was another option as long as you didn't break a lever or smash a pipe!!! This was something that should not have been in the 2nd loop novice/ami ride. Nor was it a friendly hill for a 59 yr old on a to talled-geared 250 2-stroke! UMC should have had help @ the hil or at least an OXYGEN BOTTLE!!!! /;/

Glad it just wasn't me.
I want to go back to just one loop on enduros like desert races!
-
Yeah....that hill was a real Bee-eye-tee-cee-ach....It was the last thing I wanted to see as I was pretty much wiped out physically. I got a couple of spare pipes....so I just let the old KX fly....thank God it just came to rest up the hill and decided NOT to go the other way!... Donn, sorry to hear you had troubles on the way home....if anyone ever has trouble on the way home and needs to temporarily store a toy hauler ect. gimme a call, I have plenty of room in Crappy Valley!

Thanks Lee, didn't even think about you guys being so close, would have been a good choice. Hell would have called you to come hang out and have some coffee while I waited for two hours for the tow truck.

My bet his Mangina probably would have had trouble getting off the couch!!! Pot He owes Toad and Gumby one for leaving him on his own @ the Stupid Hill!!! Young KIDS have NO RESPECT for their ELDERS!!! :-(~
-
Would have been fun to hang out but sounds like we picked the right race to miss.

Route Sheet for UMC is up on the D37 Enduro Message Board! See ya Saturday afternoon. KJ and Tara
ps I say "Leave the light on" Tara asks " Leave the trash out" ::)
Have Tara talk to Dezzie about raiding the trash can !!
2 Days at the vet and $900 later She is doing O K.
A 106* temp and no appitite isn't Her normal self.
Took her back today to make sure things are going well and will go back again Saturday for another check up.
Only thing we can think of was that she ate something that "plugged up" the digestive track and things went downhill from there.
Xrays, IV's and Meds cost more for a dog than a human.
TARA, leave the trash for for the rats/birds at the landfill :-*
