New Season!!

Heading out tomorrow morning to northern GA for another XC race.  I did the opening race last month on my MC-5 175 finished 3rd.  This week I am taking my 82 PE 175.  It is going to be cold (45) for the high during the day. No rain in the forcast, so, should be a good day of riding.

So it was an ugly day. Hard course lots of elevation changes with lots of roots. I was not riding at my best. Just felt out of sync all day. However I out lasted the rest in my class and ended up with a win. I'll take it!

So I haven't updated this post in awhile. I did a couple more races in GA with next results including a DNF with my 250. The original Motoplat died and I couldn't get the bike started. I installed a new HPI that I got from Gary Ellis; love it!  Went to the first Sprint Enduro race and wish I hadn't. It was super rutted and I just couldn't ride through them. I screwed up 80% of the corners in the cross test. This weekend I am going to the Fl GNCC with the 250. The race is two hours long, I'm looking to do 1.5 hours.

So I went up to Rome GA for a regional XC with the SORCS series this past weekend on my 83 PE 175.  Conditions were perfect! I had a mid pack start, but moved up quickly using some sweet lines I found on the pre-race walk.  I had a good pace going (nobody passing me) when I came upon a down rider who wasn't moving.  I stopped to check on him, and for a minute I thought he was gone..... He came around and said he couldn't breath.  Meanwhile at least 50 bikes went past up without anyone inquiring about the guy.  I finally had to stand in the course to get someone to stop, to have them relay how hurt this guy was to one of the course watchers.  I stayed with the guy until help arrived.  I think he is going to be okay (?) That was pretty much the end of my race for the day. The bike was running well, and I was having fun up to that point.  Oh well, next time......

Good job. Riders need to look out for one another.

So I went up to the last race of the SORCS series this past Sunday. Greta course, 10 miles long, damp soil. Had fun, my 175 ran as it should. Finished 2nd.
