Well KJ is certainly no senior citizen. He is a genuine bad ass. He fought through the adversity of riding on a minute plagued with a severe outbreak of Granular Vaginitis to complete the second loop. Norm and Lee called it a day about 10 miles into the beautiful second loop. Jenni had a decent day but had a few hard crashes and got off course and lost a significant amount of time trying to get back. She ended up finding herself riding on beautiful trails with flowers all around. It is clear that she is improving greatly and the XR200 is not mangled this time so I take that as a very good sign. Megan managed to make to the start line 1 minute before it was time to go. She hung in there and I think she had a pretty good finish. Todd Illes fought with his KTM all day. Sounds like he has some valve issues. Him and Jeff Meek rode really fast all day (at least by my standards). They left me in the dust at about the halfway point of the second loop. I finished the bonus section with arms that were Jello, far behind and most likely last in my class. Decent day for all. No broken bikes. No broken bodies. A nice relaxing time hanging out after the race. Waggy from Dirt Diggers showed up took part in drunken story time...

I feel more like a sorry azz than a bad azz! Still can't feel my monkey butt from all the sitting down. Need to get back in shape if it helps 'OLD AGE'!!! Thought I was getting relief from the last 10 mile 'special' test until the check worker told me I got the pleasure of going straight ahead instead of making the left back to camp The men on minute 28 (AP, TI & JM) were calculating their minutes dropped when I came in. I have yet to count my HOURS I conquered the terrain, but got a serious whipping by the clock!!! Good weather and great company made the weekend all worth while KJ

Yes, you would have done the 1st loop only! It was a well thought out loop and very doable. The speed averages kept you pushing @ a very brisk pace. 1/2 the 2nd loop was much the same, then the NOT-SO-FUN began!!!

I am relatively sure I can make it, just not fast enough to keep up with the rest of Ya I almost always finish the race/ride but at a slower pace. Anyone who has ridden with me gets lots of "rest stops" until I catch up. Got to get in better shape !!

Norm has a good point though. Enduros are not about finishing the entire course. You get scored on how far you go and how many points you accumulate be not being on time. You still get a "finisher" pin, and when do old,fat,slow guys like me and you ever get anything more?

I found them. I think they are on the next page over.
Try to remember guys. If you have time to make eye contact with the photographer... YOU'RE GOING TO SLOW!
