Four of us will be at Perry on Sunday the 3rd doing a little training for the upcoming Big Springs team race. The more the merrier. Eight AM to beat the heat.

I rode up there on my street bike hoping to see some old MX/2 stroke/race bike stuff but as you probably saw, there was none of that. Oh well, the weather was great and it was a good day to go for a ride.

I received this e-mail from a friend recently. The old bike show may be pretty neat if anyones interested, plus you could ride the good unmaintained roads in the Alma/Eskridge/Paxico area the same day. -Harv Date: June 3, 2011 12:08:04 CDT Subject: Vintage Bike show in Paxico Hey everybody, I'm pass...

Anybody here know anyone who owns a 690E? I've done alot of reading and can find opinions from people who have ridden bigger heavier bikes, KLR/XRL/DR, etc and they all rave about the 690. I only talked with one guy who currently has an '06 plated 525 for sale that said he was shocked how much the b...

I admire the one KLR guy I saw on the course, (pulled over to the side letting people by) for giving it a try on a machine that was never intended to do that sort of thing. I finally took first in class in an FM event. My race report is over on the FM site. It was a great day to be in the woods. -Ha...

BOK has been postponed due to rain last night. Points race is still on for tomorrow.

Stu, one of the course workers posted this on the FMHS site yesterday about 4;30 pm. If we can dodge the 40% rain chance for today, Sunday and Monday look good. Hell, you know as kids you always liked to play in the mud. I read over on BTK that some KLR guys are going to come ride the points race :...

I rode out to the track Sunday afternoon on the 450 and nosed around abit. If it remains reasonably dry between now and then it will be an fun weekend. I heard they're gonna have trophy girls to drop the 30 second boards for each class with a shotgun start. Hopefully they got 'em at Baby Dolls and n...

Stu, our plans are to do both the BOK and the points race the next day. With all the rain this week and what I see in the forecast for next week not only could it be real muddy, but having two events back to back, the track could be really destroyed for the points race, especially the MX section. I ...

I'd like to get in a tuneup ride before Big Springs. I may come up Sunday late AM depending on if I can get caught up at work, (like that's ever gonna happen). I believe the temps are supposed to be in the high 60's which would be good.

Thsi is a cool video tribute to a group of old school MX'ers that are no longer with us.

I had a good time yesterday. I got tangled up with a bunch of knuckleheads on a hill climb on the first lap and everyone in the 10's passsed me. Then the 9's passed me, then the 11's passed me. Now not only am I last in class, I have two other classes in front of me, and I'm a little pissed off. My ...

One thing I forgot is all monies from the racers must be collected outside the riding area on the gravel road right before the steel entry gate. This has always been a Corps of Engineers policy. So, if you come Sunday, even if you have no intention of coming over to the race side to watch any of it,...

Sat would be a good day to ride but I suggest staying on the west side. In the past, the Race promoters haven't allowed anyone riding on any track during setup, (for safety purposes) as they have various groups out working on putting up arrows and ribbon. You may see a few of the course workers pre-...

The races are always held on the east ?? (right side of parking lot as you drive in)side. The other side is always left open for people to ride on.

See you on the starting line Stu? Upper 70's, bring the sunscreen......

We pounded laps for 3.5 hours yesterday, had a good day. My son in law bought a new 250 XCW. We rode saturday for an hour and a half and I rode my '07 EXC450. That was a mistake trying to compete with a young kid on a 2T in the woods on the 450. We swapped back and forth some yesterday and I still l...

Oakland was almost perfect this afternoon, which means tomorrow it will be. A group of us are going down at 12:00 noon tomorrow. If you'd like to hone your single track skills, you're welcome to join in.

Race is now on April 3rd. Must have been a scheduling issue. Keep an eye on the site in case it changes again.

You can pre-register online if you raced last year and wait to the last minute to decide to go, that's what we're doing. The cold don't bother me but I don't care for the snow and ice anymore. One thing for sure if you do go, you'll have some stories to tell. We rode at Oakland Sunday and it was abs...
