The Wheels.
The chassis
Ready to ride............... At this point the bike is back together and all I need to do is ride it and get the clutch and everything setup. The weather down here in Florida has been wet so I'm not sure if I will get chance this weekend to test it. Here is a picture, ready for practice when the weather dries up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From moto cross to hare scrambles ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Florida trail riders (FTR) hare scramble series starts in a months time so its time for me to get serious, in mind, body and wallet. My last and only hare scramble gave me a taste for something I didn't think I would like, riding flat out for about 2hrs trying to overtake everyone in front of me.
Ok I admit my first try (win) last April (see here) was not that hard to do in the "c" class. I was in the super senior "C" class and maybe I should have ridden "B". But I had to start somewhere... Obviously the "A" riders know there stuff, be they seasoned vets or super fast teenagers they know how to ride....fast. So that that leaves me eyeing up the competition in the "B" class, and I have a feeling it wont be as easy.
My goal, is to be consistently fast enough to make it to the "A" class by the end of the season which comes to an end sometime next year. I can already ride for 2 hours without getting tired so I just need to get on the pace. And how do I get on the pace? by racing as many of the races as my wallet will allow. Sponsors would be nice, but nobody would support a 48year old Vet, even a good one. But you wait, come next year they will be beating down my door... Dave
