Does this look like the starting line of a race?
Nasty uphill full of fist size and bigger than fist size rocks… A few spectators took pity and removed the bigger boulders.
they let little kids race too…
This is as organized as the starting line got… Hey, gettin’ this many kids pointed in the same direction is a major accomplishment!
Then they turned the big kids loose… this rider made so much roost, he oughta be in the excavatin’ biz.
Faithful rider- This guy rides every year on the 70s Suzuki dual sport bike he bought new.
The “trail rider” class provided something for everyone- kids just graduating from the tiddlers to old duffers on plated dual sport bikes.
‘Twas a relaxed way to ride or “race” or anything in between- The young hotshots thrilled us with their speed, while the old timers stopped to help each other out, grab some refreshment, or just plain take a break.
