So, I gotta be careful not to run them down if I'm not leading. I also ride as strait as possible. All the zig-zagging through the rocks waste time, but you need your suspension working for you. I find that it's almost as smooth and passing is way easier.
Good stuff there. Anyone can go fast in a straight line but the corrners is where it is all lost or gained.

I have beeb told that to race A class in the series I am going to do this year is easier than B class due to all the sandbaggers. If it was not for that I would just start B classs.

I am sure A is A thoe and it does make you a good rider.

Lifes journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways totally worn out shouting holy cow what a ride !!!!
