Out of shape...

[R7]

It's amazing how fast you get out of shape when you don't ride once a week or so

Spent 3-4 hours on the quads today riding, then hopped on the bike for a lap before calling it a day. Good times for sure, but I'm feeling it now! The trails were almost dusty in a few spots, can't believe how dry it's been. Hopefully it's the kick off to the 2012 riding season

I'm ready when you are, man. Ive had a crapton of fun the 2 times I've visited the markerosa.
Seat time and bicycles will get you in shape fast...it's really paying off for my dumb ass now.

[MysteriousR1]

I thought that was you. I almost took a walk over to beg for a ride :lol

Who was the loud one?

I've got a few things going on the next couple weekends, but after that, I'm ready

You should have stopped by and went for a ride, i'm sure you could use the change in pace.
The loud one was Nate, a guy from work. He just picked up a used quad.

I went out for the first dirt ride of the season yesterday, taking advantage of the extra sun light. Endurance wise, I was fine, but arm pump was almost instant, and remembering how to ride the damn thing took a bit too. Our main riding area has changed pretty significantly over the winter, as a lot of construction was done on the power lines, but I think it's for the better. A change is always fun, plus, big excavator tracks really freshen up the dirt.

damn, i knew this was coming bikes are a mess. been a rough winter on the personal side... i'll catch up soon! weather is nuts

[Paul_E_D]

I was a little rusty today for sure. Got arm pump quick and couldn't do many laps. Gonna get out a few times this week though. Track is mint. It was like a june day without the bugs.

[typeone]

bet the track is mint, sand is prob nice and firm. temps are sweet.

any tree damage? we seemed to have a bunch down from the past few wind storms. lost a huge chunk of another tree in my yard.

[Paul_E_D]

Someone cleared BOTH tracks this spring. The lower one was like a war zone. That had to have been a LOT of work.

[typeone]

ooh, nice. so are you patching both together again? i really liked the lower one too.

[Paul_E_D]

I haven't. The lower track is awkward at speed to me. Seems more like a mini track, but I'll work on it a bit this year.

[typeone]

i like that the corners are different but it is smaller for sure.

[Paul_E_D]

I pushed through the arm pump today. Took like five sessions to get my arms somewhat relaxed. Nice crew out there. Warm sun, dry track. Epic for March.

[breakdirt916]

at least you guys have bikes

I'm on the hunt for one soon...

[Paul_E_D]

Gettin my mojo back. Awesome crew of guys at the track tonight. We ran reverse course the whole time and I kinda got to liking it. Flows faster and the whoops don't bite as hard. You can actually double double through the emiddle section. Started railing the big berms pretty good too. Had no choice, those boys were rippin.

[typeone]

nice. so how much reverse? the entire last group sand session I was at? that's interesting. playing it through in my head.

[Paul_E_D]

Ya, everything bu the gravity cavity, including that back section below the GC. The only obstacle we went around was the main sand jump. we just skirted to the side of it. The other double we just hammered over like a dragon's back or something.

sounds fun
