I guess my friend Don finished 9th overall. I wish I could have made it down for that one. I wonder if he rode his 450 or 300, hmmm. Later,
Great show by Webb and Jarvis, swapped lead all day. Jarvis lost mousse late. Here you go, official finisher: 12 John Kearney N2M 9:25:10
Dose of reality for all the keyboard racers/riders, John Kearney N2M is a mid fifties rider that just entered and finished a world class extreme enduro on his Husky CR125 based machine. Think about modifying your mind and body before asking for more power from your bikes. Great perserverance John K, my hat's off to you, your OA time was a long long day.. of not giving up...
This was the hardest race I have ever done in my life I was still so sick with the flu and since there is a no money back policy I figured I would ride to check point 1 and watch the race.Then a check 1 I said ok you can make check 2 then at 2 I said you can make the 1/2 way point and alt gas.At alt all my friends were there and said John you can do it keep going so off I went just to get a finish I was then racing the clock as I had to finish by 6pm.I finished with 20 min to spare. I was riding my Husky 165 geared 12/52 and with a trailes tire which is shot after 80 miles.The bike ran great and never missed a beat nothing broke and it is still running fine.All I have to do is wash it change the oil but the 13/52 and a new tire on it and head to Red MT for round 2 of the National in 6 days. If any one ever douts the 165 I have now done just about every type of race on one and finished every race I even entered on a Husky 2 stroke. As for Cory on his Husky 310 he was running top 4 most of the day but on his second lap some thing broke and he DNF.There were 2 classes Pro which did the 80 miles twice and expert who only had to do the 80 miles once.I saw another Husky there and that Husky also DNF So once again I was the only Husky to get a official finnish One more thing to get passed by Gram Gravis and Coddy Web on a rocky hill that you were having trouble on is just something I can not explain.Those guys can ride and I felt lucky to be on the same hill with them So all I know today is I FINISHED and so did my Husky
OK that answered my fone message.....see ya at Red Mountain.!! You crazy Irishman!! if you can do KOM then re-gather yourself for next weeks nat......I'll be there with ya. Hope my few month old mousse stays together!!! I'm going to ride on my wasted Pirelli FIM pro rear, should be fine its supposed to be very rocky at red mountain.
Great race report... Funny; even the videos from down under are down under! I like the left side throttle...
AKA Mad MAX He had some trouble off the start on the lake bed Then a few min later passed me in the first rocky canyon.He really gave me a dose of reality as to how fast the Pros are and how long of a day I was going to have
Entertaining video. How did it end up flipped though? I agree about the Hammer products. I started to use Heed, Endurolyte Fizz and Hammer gel last year, and they definitely keep me from "hitting the wall" on those long trail days!
