We'll ride along behind Scott (WAY behind Scott, >probably) and periodically bemoan the ravages of time together. >It'll be fun. I've been practicing for the past year or two. I miss the old days, ya know when I was "Uncle David" to Scott, now that he's a hot shot Racer Dude, I'm just another old fart to get around or worry about behind him... I haven't been riding much of late either, been camping the last two weekends in dirt bike heaven and only have about 100 miles to show for it. I'll be back up there two weeks from today, can't wait!!! IdaSpodeFesterer

I think we should have a "slow race" this year: 100' course, trials type riding, no dabs, can't turn more than 90* in either direction off centerline, last one to the finish line wins. IdaSloe

Bring back the memories of past spodedebacles. Trials ride over the big log in the middle of camp..... Wheelie contest to see who can break a $100 set of handle bars... Poker run through Kelly cr. and back...etc..etc.... BTW. This has been on my mind. ?How are the mosquitoes this year? Do I need the 100% DEET or will the 40% work? I remember Charles daughter having a real problem with them in '06. Jeff

I haven't started preparing at all > yet. I've already started preparing by rising my tolerance towards alcoholic beverages but failed miserably yesterday after the first "Ma�" (1 liter) of beer and fell asleep. But there's still time for more practise... Regarding crashes I was able to gain profoud experience last week: Took a steep kicker-table in 3rd instead of 2nd (must have been a temporary blackout or shomething) and crashed into the face of the next jump. I heroically managed to cushion the impact of the bike with my body so there was just a triple clamp to be straightened and a right grip to be glued with instant glue. Those ulcerating rashes will go away for free and my bruises have already become yellow. Helmet unscratched thanks to my pulled neck muscles. More exercise this week-end. Cheers, Volker, 14 days and counting... -- @: I N F O at B A R T H E L D dot N E T 3W: www.bartheld.net

Buddy of mine wrote a "just one more time" mail about doing some riding. Other buddy said yeah let's do it. Never heard of'em since. Hence I'll try to stirr them up so I get at least minimum dirt riding time before falling off of ID's hills.. > I guess I'll be riding slow this year. I'll ride like I ski nowadays: Shoot down Really Fast, throwing powder like a freight train and 20 seconds later take a nice 10 second break, then repeat. Ugly part with skiing that way is my "slow" wife is passing me on a 5 mile slope. Rowdy |
