2018 Staunton Spring Romp

<< < (3/3)

PYG RYDR:
We had 25 or so dual sport riders for Friday and Saturday dry rides.  A variety of terrain-gravel, hardpack, boulders, loose rock and paved connectors.  A couple tip-overs on the challenging sections.  And about 10 street riders!  Thanks to all for joining the fun!

That first section was a lot for these short legs on the DR. Pinched a wire that popped my main fuse so we had to find that to get me going and I busted my hump a couple of times on the two tough spots.  Lower gearing on the big bike would have helped but at the end of day I walked away to enjoy some beverages and the bike will live to fight another day.  Next time no cans on and lower the gearing a bit.  We had a great time and look forward to the next time.

Sorry that you had some mechanical issues.  That section is the toughest one for the area.  Next year, I will do a better job of offering a go-around.  The afternoon sections had plenty of loose rocks with descents/ascents.  Not a beginner's ride. 

And there are many other track/route options to ride, without the difficult ride sections. 

See you next year!

I had a ball.  My TTR 250 just would have been a better choice.
