I guess the first question is race venue - I'm in the Boston Metro area (Somerville) so I'm thinking about doing the Sturbridge races. Does anybody here compete / hang out there?
I heard there also might be some places to ride near Nashua, but I haven't heard of any specific race series.
The second question would be around bike / gear.
I have a KTM 520SX, some Fredette's mounted up, and a cold weather / no fog helmet, and some knee / elbow pads courtesy of Walmart, and snowboarding gear, but that's about it.
As far as bikes,
I hit a pond in upstate NY this weekend and had a blast.
I was very comfortable on my friend's CRF 450.
On my bike....ehh....if anybody wants to grab a beer sometime we can talk about that happens when you ride the ice after the shop mounts your rear tire backwards
So I don't know at this point how my bike will ride when the tire is on the right way, but it is set up as a roadracing sumo.
My friend's bike had some other tweaks to it for the ice.
I remember his bike was set to run rich and his suspension was lowered.
Is there anything else I should do?
Any tips would be appreciated!
