The upcoming moto ride/quick report.

[jentzschman]

I have been happy with my tusk ones. Taken a few good beatings and they are holding up well.

 

[glockman]

I might be in for Saturday. Hopefully ill have a trials tire on the TTR by then. This will be a big group.

Sounds like a huge group. Is there an easy way to figure out how many without going back and reading 10 pages of posts?

 

[Cascadia]

Chance, did you get a bike yet that you can come this weekend?

My brother-in-law is supposed to be coming with me as well. Maybe another buddy or two as well, they haven't committed yet though.

 

[jentzschman]

I count 14 is everyone shows up. I wager we will have 8-10 at least.

 

[Cascadia]

Guess I'm too lazy to count. But I'm not too lazy to show up.

 

[Caleb]

Wow, that's a huge group. Honestly, we may want to consider breaking in to two smaller groups. Otherwise it will be slow moving and the last half of the group will have a hard time even seeing the trail because of the amount of dust. Even with just a couple guys it can get dusty up there.

 

[jentzschman]

Two groups might be a good idea, if everyone shows up. I think we will have at least 10 so two groups of 5 maybe.... If we do split in groups, I will be with the slower group if that is how we split them up. While I like to ride hard and push myself, I am still fairly a novice rider.

I don't consider myself as a fast rider, but I will say I don't think it would be beneficial to split in to slower/faster groups as I know when I was starting out, the best way to learn was to try to follow a better rider and see what they are doing. It also forced me to push myself just a little beyond what I was comfortable with. It also will be beneficial for the guys that haven't been up to Hobble Creek before to be with some guys that have. So we can split, I just wouldn't recommend a slower/faster approach

 

[Cascadia]

I would prefer to be in a group, if we do groups, that takes less breaks and rides longer between. I've got no problem with chatting and getting to know people but I don't like stops every 10 minutes for 10 minutes. It defeats the purpose IMO.

I wouldn't mind meeting at 9, an hour behind the first group. Being there at 8 is a bit earlier than I'd like.

X2 on the dust, it gets pretty bad up there. I'd like to ride with someone fast, I need to be pushed a bit.

Good points.

The dust shouldn't be as bad as usual with the rain we've gotten. It got dumped on there this evening.

Russ showed me the super secret squirrel tire swap technique tonight.
So I no longer have a bald tire. I did a little grooving on this one also so we'll see if it improves lateral traction.
Thanks !


Oh also Russ, is it cool if Jon hops in with us? I'll have him meet us at my place.
