I was the first of the our group up the hill. As it turned out, it didn?t really feel like much of a challenge. But reaching the top I realized no one else made it up. Sensing an opportunity to make myself look good, I flipped on my GoPro, rode back to the bottom and climbed the hill again as the other riders pushed their way up. I know how to capitalize on an advantage!
But that isn?t really the story. We went back to the truck, swapped bikes and headed back to the hill climb. My next attempt was on the Sherco 300 2t. Two tries later I realized I just wasn?t going to get back up that hill. Next I tried a Husaberg TE250, again no dice. Now it?s starting to look like it wasn?t really me that was looking so good, rather the Gas Gas.
