I do. But I'm on my way to St. George to ride warm red dirt and test out my new Dirt Lab Division xc suspension.

Was that your Midvale that Jesse out a picture of on Facebook?

 

[Cascadia]

Yup.

 

[anderson750]

What the hell was it ground like that for?

 

[Gravy]

Maybe I'll go out to knolls

Derek and I are in st George today/tomorrow. We ride Toquerville falls.. Slick as snot. Very bad.
Hoping Warner valley is better tomorrow.

You have as good of an idea as I do. I've never been in my suspension before and you know the one person who has. That's the weirdest thing to me. Pointless and a waste of time.

A few of us rode Warner valley yesterday for about 6 hours. I was amazed at how diverse the area is with the sand, clay, and red rocks.

The Beta has really won me over and it's really helping to boost my confidence.

 

[Gravy]

Better race Mesquite then Derek.

Derek and I were thinking we were pretty hot stuff doing some sweet lines and climbs... Until Gavin Godfrey and his buddy went around us, raced up a cliffside that didn't have a trail, and made us look like first time riders. It was insane.

Maybe I overstated my confidence a bit...

I thought it was a Tasmanian devil racing a hurricane at first! Those guys were so incredibly nuts!

 

[Tonkaman]

Who is racing in mesquite tomorrow? Anyone else camping?

 

[Cascadia]

I'm not racing tomorrow but I'm racing Saturday. We are not camping at this one or rhino. But probably the rest of the races. We're staying at our place in Washington again. I'm here now and will be riding tomorrow. Practicing starts again.

 

[anderson750]

We are staying at a friends house in Mesquite and will probably be camping for the Rhino since our condo is rented out for the next 2 months.

 

[Gravy]

We got a hotel in Mesquite.

 

[Tonkaman]

I'm debating on camping or not. What hotel did you book Stratton?

 

[Gravy]

Excited!

So, the ST. George Winter riding trip hooks another RME rider into desert racing!. Right on Derek. Per James, you have to race two races before you decide you don't like it.

I can't believe how much strength and endurance the race demanded! My hands were numb after the first lap, and my whole body gave up after lap 2. The third lap was really sloppy, and I really was just trying not to eat the dirt. I may or may not race again, I'm not sure yet.

It happens! Welcome to our warped world of self abuse Derek. you really should race another race, it becomes an addiction you still wont fully understand years later.
