That was a lot of fun except for that gnarly uphill rocky canyon. That was more like work! That seperated the men from the boys. Luckily we were all up to the task. You certainly held your own Rick. We will get together again and ride again!
As far as what I excel at... riding fast in transport sections and in rocks. I try to look way ahead and some guys don't turn the throttle as much. It makes for easy passing in 2 track if they don't keep crossing back and forth. What bike and setup you have contributes to your strengths. I really struggled with rocks on my KTM 200 because the deflections would knock me off line with such a light front end. I still have a lot of skills that can be honed.
