What' s
happen ing?
The first chec k was at the end of th e
first 12 m .p.h. section and was a
tiebreak er. T he clu b wanted the rid ers
to come in righ t a t 30 seconds (pe rfect
score) because the next section was
balls-to -the-wall up Miller's J eep T rai l
a t a very fast 24 m.p.h. No one
zeroed that ch eck . One point lost was
th e best. The next section was back to
a nice and ea sy 13 m .p.h, average
which took th e riders down scenic
Snowy T rail , which will be the subject
of a erosion control rebuild by
volunt eer motorcyclists in the next few
weeks . Snowy is a favorite of many and
still had a little bit of the white stuff
for which it is named on it. After a
check at the bottom, it was boogie to
the finish of the first loop and
preparation for the second loop .
The second loop st art ed down the
same goat trail as the first loop at the
same average. But this time the check
wasn't at the end of the section, it was
devilishly hidden around a slight bend
just before a tight section. Clever. The '
check reportedly caught over 40 riders
early (Including your report er by on e
second . . . Ed) . At the bottom of the
tr ai l. the course turned right from the
morning loop a nd headed towards
Frazier Park . A rocky jeep road caused
a few pro b lems. Team Montesa 's R oy
Sh eridan tasted a roc k as he .went
down ha rd, but luckily wasn 't hun.
A che ck made sure everyone was
timekeeping , then th e cou rse turned
on to a good fireroad looping back to
the Pi ru Creek area. Anoth er ch eck to
make su re th e "gam blers" weren 't
ru nning hot, an d then int o the creek.
Wha t a sect ion - water crossings , big
rocks, sa nd. It was tough.
Spurlock wou ld ha ve bet no one
wou ld zero the lu rking che ck bu t four
riders m anaged to make ir. Overa ll
win ne r Boller on his 175 Penton, second
overall T orn Getz frid (500 Yam), Ron
Fry (Yarn) and Steve Keull (Oss).
Getzrid and Fry are locked in a battle
for 0 -37 Number One Senior. Two of
the four rider who zeroed the tough
check were Seniors . In fact three of th e
top six overall were in the 40 and over
bunch. Not too bad at all .
Dist rict 37 Vice President Ron Hall
decided to try his luck at a rare en duro
appearance and was having fun until
he feel off on e of the goat trails. H e got
back up but lost 18 m inutes doing so,
He was a little sh aken but still claims
he ha d fun .
