Nor Cal D-36 Sawmill Enduro

Any Nor Cal GasGas riders going to the Sawmill Enduro next weekend?
I have plans of going providing it is still a "go".

Thanks

Speaking of weather.... I always tease my wife that we will move to a place where the weather was near perfect year round. I was looking at the Weather channel averages and found Eureka, California. Highs in the 60-70 range and lows in the 40-50 range.

Sweet! We live in Gainesville Florida now where the winters dip into the 20's, but the summers from June-November (yeah, November... ) are ridiculous. Highs in the 90's-100's, 90% humidity.

I even started looking at housing out there. We have a while to go before we retire, but that doesn't mean I don't want to visit. As long as there are tracks and trails to ride I'm happy.

So to those who live in NorCal, how right are the "averages" I am seeing? How's the riding?

I wish! I really wanted to ride the Crosscut but I have anothher commitment I can't get out of . Oh well! Just got back from Jawbone so I'll survive not riding next weekend. Even saw a Gas Gas in the back of a pickup coming though Tehachapi.

Temps sound about right. Lots of fog during the winter. Riding would be 1.5-3 hours away at best. Unless you had access to some private land. Not high up the list of places to move with ridding as a priority. Now if you are looking to grow pot, you are moving into the capital of that.

The pot probably would mellow me out too much and slow me down!


I guess I am spoiled: My home is on two acres, one heavily wooded where I have a mini endurocross course, a 15 acre rock garden 4 miles from here, a 15 acre sand track also 4 miles the other way, a 6 mile single track woods loop 20 miles away, a friend with a motocross sand track 1 mile away. 4 mile hare scramble loop, private owned, 6 miles away. I can ride to all of these on the bike itself wearing a tool pack and a camelback.

Trailer it to Waldo MX, 30 miles away, Hard rock MX/hare scrambles/sand/single track/limerock pits 30 miles the other way. Osceola and Ocala national forest, 50 miles either way. Croom is 100 miles away.

I plan on doing the crosscut and sawmill. Still sorting the new to me bike out, had a rough time this weekend at the mrann/d36 desert race. Jordan Brandt looked good on his 300, I think he was 5th OA.

What is your new bike? Did you pick up another GasGas?
I did not pre-enter, so I"ll be back in the pack....B-Senior in the bottle necks
