I will probably be there around 5-ish. Can't wait!
I have been having problems with the server running out of resources and giving errors. It is better but I'm still getting some periodically. Please report any you get to me at ken@kyler.com.

You all have modern cell phones. Southern NJ has good cell reception. So where's the DAMNed picture?
Particularly the ones (yes plural) of WF fixing flats

No flats! But also no pics, I'm not brave enough to carry my cell phone on the trail.
F*** work.

Re: It's HAMMER TIME! Nov 4 & 5th
First some words about the run. Now I know what to tell people when they ask what terrain we've got in Latvia to ride - similar to NJ :)
I really enjoyed it. It was quite a bit faster than I'm riding usually. Small whoops are much easier to deal with than an endless rock trail. To say there were also a large and a giant whoops and sand whoops and mud whoops and root whoops and.. I think you've got the idea
Had some crashes - I'm really frustrated that it was forbidden to use cameras there That would've been the best riding video I've taken so far. Once I crashed into a tree, landed some 10 ft closer to the finish and left the bike parked against the tree.. upside down.
Then there was a splat on the ground after the front went out on off chamber downhill. Next day another tree. This time I found a smaller tree so that it can fit in between the tank and frame and so I did that Kinda either it was really slippery or I tried to brake while in air I don't remember, but in a result I just went right into that tree. Bike and I are fine, just some hematomas and some broken off turn indicators and probably a bent subframe as the muffler is now polished when the tire comes close on those whoops (that is constantly :D).
In fewer words - a perfect weekend
Can't attach pics to my posts from the phone. Not so many pics anyway.
Here are some I took.
WF was so tired this race that he even forgot to get a flat
Longer snack stop
Today this gas station was available. Saturday there were about zillion riders with bikes waiting in lines. IDK why, we all were good till the next stop and just laughed at them.
A not so big part of campers.
A bonfire getting ready.
Night was cold, but we had beer and couldn't leave it alone!
Every day is a good day when you ride

I'm still struggling with the concept of Wingfixer with no flats.

You might want to ask him about his front sprocket replacement
I really can not comment, since I forgot my helmet and had to buy a new one on-site

Lol thats why everyone was giving you compliments about your helmet, I missed thattrialsrider wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2017 10:09 amYou might want to ask him about his front sprocket replacement

Front sprocket was replaced in between rides so that doesn't really count as a problem. We had fun giving him a ton of unnecessary advice
