Anyone else racing it this weekend? 9:35 start time for my son and I. It will be his first race and I haven't ridden it since 1996.
I have done that race many times including last year. Real good fun race. I'd probably be doing it again but am considering doing the Shelton Timekeeper Enduro instead. Have a great time.
BMP guys Bean 300, Johnson 310 and Ginsbach 511 have early minutes Foley on 144 and Gage Johnson 300 a bit farther back I will be doing OMRA duties so say hi when you pass through the sign up maze on Saturday
Ive done a little more analysis of the list. First some context...in 2011 I was entered on my TXC511 and it appears that I was the only Husqvarna in the field of 300 plus. This years there are 273 riders entered and below are the known/probably Husqvarna riders ! First row is at 9 am so Tom and Mark get to start up front (3 per minute) in rows 2 and 3... which will be a big help given the probability of a dusty morning (rain forecast for sometime Sunday....)
Mark tried to hug a tree and it slapped him....nothing serious, but took him out of the race... I hope everyone else had a good day.
We had dust the first mile that was it. A little rain and some hail here and there. Great conditions.
It was a fun day, perfect dirt no dust, riding in the rain like the coast range, and I stayed on two wheels and out of the trees. A very good day!
