Which test was that? My battery died on test 4 just after the A /B split

yeah I believe it was 5. It was great, going thru the boulders in the down hill it was tricky. The Gasser turned so well in them I wound up waiting for the guy in front of me who had to get off his bike and maneuver it around them. That is a trail I would go back to ride.
You guys really need to have a word with your landscaper on test 4. They left grapefruit sized rollers everywhere, it was a challenge for sure.

The fronts did great, Bob Tod re-valved the rear a week before and I should have played with it more then I did. It did good, but I should have turned the rebound out more, I was getting high speed kick out in the rear over rocks. One so bad it kicked the entire bike sideways. My old sachs worked better for me in this stuff. I was able to adjust the high speed compression, I liked having that option.

I used to race there during the 80's during the ADRA days. We called it the Prescott race back then and it was a race not an enduro, not to say enduros now days aren't races. I can say that I really enjoyed every ADRA race. Back then we raced in Heber, Young, Snowflake, Gila Bend, Sonoita to Rocky Point, Salome, Cinder Mtn in Flagstaff and they were all epic. I miss AZ....

Wow, that is a blast from the past. You probably know Bob Tod from the ADRA days then?

That's me, but only because of two co-sanctioned races between D37-WestChec and Arizona's AMRA. I guess they don't assign worker points or I would be ahead of the other Zonies in our AMRA class, assuming they didn't get worker points. Amazing I has able to finish all races over the last two years given how sick I was over that period -- as well as my back procedure in Fall of 2012.

It was a great course, just a ton of rock, sharp inbeded rock, loose big rock, loose small rock...did I mention it was rocky
The course was approx 25 miles, I got in two fun filled laps...really though it was really a fast course with really nice flowing single track....through the forrest. Under the trees it was really nice, out in the open it was really dry and dusty. There was a few miles of hard packed dirt road that was super slippery with loose marbles, pretty much WFO on the road sections.
The single track sections had a nice flow. Some areas of the single track were carved out of the mountain side, which had some pretty steep drop off area. I witnessed a few riders helping drag bikes back up the side.
I had never seen SO many flat tires after a race....even TubLiss systems flat! It really did not matter if it was a front or rear tire...
What really make it tought was the high speeds, rocks, dust, and if you make a mistake, off the trail you went and down the hill side!
I added a few pictures from the event: http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/album.php?albumid=87 nothing great, just my dirty mug, torn to crap rear tire and one of the bike....
