    Im gonna get my bike running this weekend. I have a hotel friday night. practice is all cardio. Its a fairly easy ride if your lungs can handle it. I dont think I have ever touched my brakes on that track. You just roll out of the throttle or downshift. The sand does the rest.

    what days you riding? i'd really like to come join you guys once the TC is together. not taking my sand tire off so the softer the practice spot, the better.

    I'm going to try and get some more time in at MX207 Sunday, lots of softer terrain now to play on.

    The most cardio I've done is a dodgeball tournament this past weekend. Yea, It's gonna be a shit-show for me. F-it. It's just a drink-fest anyway.

    Re: STIMILON 2011 !!! May 28/29 MX338

    sweet...I will start on the local mini track, try some of the woods, then try some CH...although cardio is DEF. going to kill me regardless

    we only have 3 weekends left...so I'm def. going to try (pending functional bike) to get out at least 1 weekend morning, and maybe an hour once/week at my local mini track after I get out of rotation

    James/Eddie: any of you guys planning on going to Franklin or Hodges anytime soon? I can't do 5/15 at all, so it would have to be this weekend (5/7-5/8) or the weekend before Stimilon (5/21-5/22)

    I have been going to Hodges a few times already this year. I rode Franklin with Dan (black squirrel) on Sunday. James and PK were leaving as we were going into the trails. Get your RM together and we'll put you on the top secret list.

    sweet...so late Friday night and Saturday morning are my target times to re-assemble the bike...if it all works, then I may join you Mr. Biggity at Hodges (they have a sand/whoops section I want to tinker around in. but I am going to be absurdly slow...do you and your wife mind waiting up for me?) or wherever Mr. Eddie's going

    Re: STIMILON 2011 !!! May 28/29 MX338

    Let's say there was this guy that really likes to ride in the woods that was thinking about doing this, what are the things that he would need to do to make this an enjoyable adventure? One thing that kind of sucks is that this person will be very busy and unable to do much riding and or prep until the day before the event.

    What do you guys say?

    My first time ever on a mx track was Stimilon last year. I did no preparation. I still had a great time. It's like a race weekend at Loudon. Hanging out and after the races is just as much fun as being on track.

    awesome!

    The wife gets out of work at 3 and she really wants to go riding so I will be waiting for her, although there is nothing to say that I can't ride Hodges twice in one day.

    even lining up on the gate and riding one moto at Southwick is fun. huge, rolling sandbox. the rest of the event makes it worth the cash, it's like a big private practice-day party.

    put it this way, a friend of mine that came to spectate, who hasn't ridden dirt in ~19 years, was ready to borrow my gear and bike to get out there and mix it up for a session.

    sounds good! i just need to make sure my jetting changes for the BB kit are OK, doing a little experiment with a needle from an RM125 (hair richer) + leaner slide + leaner pilot + fatter main. rest of the work is now done.

    Woodruff keys are cheap, if that's the only hold up I'll buy you one.
