Arrrrrgh. It's doubtful I'm going to make it this weekend. I tweaked my lower back on a tricky log today and don't think it would be wise to spend all week sitting in an office, then all day sitting Saturday in a vehicle driving down to Olympia to race on Sunday, then drive home Monday. I'll see how it is Tuesday and make a decision then but it's not looking good.
The log crossing that it happened on was on an uphill, left hand corner with an 8" diameter log sitting approximately 2 feet off the ground. Plan of attack was plant left foot before log, wheelie to plant cases on the log then use momentum/push with left foot to slide over the rest of the log. Unfortunately on my first attempt I didn't hit it quite right and ended up sliding back, then I guess I tweaked my back pulling the bike off the log to try again. NOT what I needed a little over a month before the ISDE! |

Not being familier with ISDE events, is the short and long course are they one continual loop like a enduro or are they comprised of multi loops like a harescramble?

Short course is 1 loop and long course is 2 loops. First loop is a slower speed average for all classes. Then we bump the speed up for the long course second loop which will have new surprises in it. Is my Gas Gas gonna be the only one there, I hope not! Roscoe

I'm heading out to go set up this race. Its looking good! Got some heavy ocean mist the past couple of days out there and everything but the most open clear cuts are prime, but even the clear cuts are still not horrendously dusty.
Cycle Gear surprised me with some unexpected and very nice contingency's on top of the purse money. So we will be giving out a ticket with your sign up for the opportunity to win something extra at awards. Cycle Gear does me and my club and the sport right. Hope to see some Gas Gas riders there. I'm pretty sure Eric known as the eel on here will be there on his 2005 DE 250. If you show at the event come on up and introduce yourself. Hope you can make it! Roscoe

Good luck with the Grizzly, Roscoe (although by the time you see this it'll probably be "hope you had good luck at the Grizzly"). We won't be there because that's the same day we're leaving for the Sawtooth Mountains to kick off 2 weeks of prime Idaho riding. Maybe next time. See you at the Black Bear in November if nothing else.
BTW, how's the foot you mashed at the Timekeeper? Don't those big-ass medical shipping ice packs work great? Tim H |

I got to give Roscoe and the Cascade club TWO big thumbs up for there event today. The race was great, very well laid out and very well marked. The weather was perfect, just enough drizzle to lube up the clay,rocks and roots to their slimey best without being to sloppy.
Great job and please do it again next year.
