Glenn/Steve - No more talk of injuries. Don't need to jinx myself. Hope both you guys heal up soon though. I might organize another Gas Gas ride in the fall.
I do agree with Glenn about having more power at the QR. I've ridden it on both a 250 and a 300. Even though I didn't have any problems with the hills on the 250, the 300 just climed everything easier/faster. Although I do remember passing a couple guys on BMW adventure bikes who were struggling to get up one of the easier hills. All the power in the world doesn't mean squat if you can't get it to the ground. The guy I'm going with has a 125 Husky which might have some issues. He's debating throwing a trials tire on back right now.
I've been taking it easy this year. Doing a lot more family activities and just going on fun rides with friends. Did a ~50-mile ride out of Manchester, VT last month. Plenty of long climbs and washed out trails which was good practice for the QR.
