Well, you certainly have a good attitude for AMRA-style racing. Me? I'm a whiner. I'd be cranky, in a web forum kind of way. :)thebleakness wrote:Test 3 was great, I had a blast going through that thing laughing all the way up.
Yeah. He was one muscular, and fast guy. I've seen him at the Mile Markers. His bar clamps came undone and were just a few threads from coming off. He rode most of the diabolical Test three and the nasty transfer section with his bars wobbling in his hands. He was so arm pumped that he couldn't work my Check-buddy's tools.IIRC you were helping a guy tighten down some loose bars
I didn't ride any of Test 3 since it wasn't a part of the course when I volunteered to mark trails. It was included after one section turned into a mud-bog in a light rain. As usual, Arizona Trail Riders opted for the safety of rocks over the unpredictability of eastern-style mud.Did you ride the whole course at all on your KDX? If so, what did you think of it?
My first race is likely to be the Gila County Desert Cross in October-07. I'm not sure about doing the AMA Nationals in Young (east of Payson) as a first race in *hot* and monsoony August.
