Dirty Dan's Funland Training Ride
5-6-07
With the postponement, good friend Speedy Pete (PGOffroad) invited myself and
others to his TOP SECRET training facility for a fun day of riding. Present were
all the usual suspects; Speedy Pete, Heath (Gus) Drone, Brian (Da Pope) Mullane,
Andrew (Halo Boy) Jensen, Ken (SSK) Schuck as well as a few new comers. Also out
for a his first ride in a long time was Steve Barr and Joe (Egg Shell) Barr.
The weather was perfect and with a little rain earlier in the week, the soil
was in prime dirt biking condition. Pete has a technical woods course laid out
that was a blast to ride. It had just the right combination of tight woods,
flowing trails, steep ravines and a (normally) dry rocky creek section. In
addition, there were 2 grass track sections for us wanna be 6 Days riders. I
believe that the total lap length was around 3 mile.
Unfortunately, I was on a very tight time schedule and had to leave after
only 3 laps. Reports from my brother Marc who was there with his son Colton were
that Egg Shell was attacking the grass track, driving in harder than anyone
else, obviously putting his Pro flat track skills to good use (Joe needs to give
me some pointers!).
