Short Note from new member.
Handle describes me.
Few observations.
Total underestimation of fitness conditioning. (refer to Handle)
Bike way beyond skill set. (09WR450uncorked-wow.<12 hrs on new bike.Kasson Yamaha in Austin (and my wife-Thank You) were gracious enough to enable my delusion thru financing. Nice bunch; Old Time Texas Riders.)
Challenging terrain. (Hats off to those who made it around once at all. Friend got up the hill, waited for me, caught his breath, talked it over with another person watching, then made it down and bailed to the road.)
Nice people and well organized. We were in, riding practice, done and out the gate with narry a fuss. For $63 I got some cool numbers, a towel, and a total humbling lesson in the laws of physics. I didn't break myself and I didn't screw up my bike. That was cheap. (Does the transponder on my helmet now go off and warn my brain when I'm about to do something stupid on my bike? Nice feature.)
(Big Shout Out to those two kids who helped me get the bike out of that dip at the beginng. Thank You again. Had clutch interfernce issues. Was not helping. Wearing new boots I'm not use to and can't feel anything. Like the brake and the gear shift.)
I can't complain about the terrain. A twig would have been my undoing that day.
Looking forward to when we can do the next one. Goal. One lap.
(Nice touch was Medevac Helicopter in background when I'm on the phone with the wife detailing my total failure. I hope the rider is OK. Beyond HIPPA laws, what happened?) Everybody be safe. OldTxDoc

oldtxdoc,
each course exhibits a different challenge. dont let this one course set your mind that they are all this type of challenge.
freestone will have its own challenges for you. it is MX/CC with shorter elevation changes (dry creek crossings) and we will ride on the national MX track as part of our course. and probably will use the start gate.
never wear new boots. walk around the house if you have to. do some squats in them. joining liss on a turtle run could help. they will make sure you make a lap. see ya at the next one.
