Nor Cal D-36 Sawmill Enduro
- Thread starter Rick
- Start date
Speaking of weather.... I always tease my wife that we will move to a place where the weather was near perfect year round. I was looking at the Weather channel averages and found Eureka, California. Highs in the 60-70 range and lows in the 40-50 range.
Sweet! We live in Gainesville Florida now where the winters dip into the 20's, but the summers from June-November (yeah, November... ) are ridiculous. Highs in the 90's-100's, 90% humidity.
I even started looking at housing out there. We have a while to go before we retire, but that doesn't mean I don't want to visit. As long as there are tracks and trails to ride I'm happy.
So to those who live in NorCal, how right are the "averages" I am seeing? How's the riding?

I wish! I really wanted to ride the Crosscut but I have anothher commitment I can't get out of
. Oh well! Just got back from Jawbone so I'll survive not riding next weekend. Even saw a Gas Gas in the back of a pickup coming though Tehachapi.

Temps sound about right. Lots of fog during the winter. Riding would be 1.5-3 hours away at best. Unless you had access to some private land. Not high up the list of places to move with ridding as a priority. Now if you are looking to grow pot, you are moving into the capital of that.
The pot probably would mellow me out too much and slow me down! 
I guess I am spoiled: My home is on two acres, one heavily wooded where I have a mini endurocross course, a 15 acre rock garden 4 miles from here, a 15 acre sand track also 4 miles the other way, a 6 mile single track woods loop 20 miles away, a friend with a motocross sand track 1 mile away. 4 mile hare scramble loop, private owned, 6 miles away. I can ride to all of these on the bike itself wearing a tool pack and a camelback.
Trailer it to Waldo MX, 30 miles away, Hard rock MX/hare scrambles/sand/single track/limerock pits 30 miles the other way. Osceola and Ocala national forest, 50 miles either way. Croom is 100 miles away.
What is your new bike? Did you pick up another GasGas?
I did not pre-enter, so I"ll be back in the pack....B-Senior in the bottle necks
I bought Cody Webbs Endurocross bike, 2010 250 sixdays. If everything goes ok on Saturday I will start on minute 1 on Sunday, A-Vet.

1st enduro on GG
That race last weekend was a blast!! A true old school style with some tough sections and little jeep trails. I thought the club did a great job this year with the trails. The start was a little slow but once it dropped into the trees it was a solid race. I had a good finish with a 1st in class and I believe a 2nd OA in the C's. The Gas Gas ran great and I have no complaints about the bike. I'm a little confused why so many riders are complaining about the stock suspension set up. Maybe I'm just fortunate that the bike works well for me or ignorance is bliss. I don't feel that the bike deflects or has a harsh stroke at all, and I haven't even turned a clicker. Anyways, see you at the next one guys

tnt,
I wish....... I went, been slaving away on the bike...not really, just needed to repack the s/a to make sure I'd pass sound test.... I got a call late Saturday afternoon / evening that our boiler at work went down.....needless to say, spent the better part of the night tooling with a 200hp boiler making sure it would stay runnning. So......
by the time I got home, little to no sleep needed to pack, drive, sign up, race, drive home, I figured I'd better pass on this one! My buddy Jim (343W) A Senior was a little hot as well, we were supposed to link up also!!! So...yes, I am a slacker!
Let the flames start!
