Funny that Cycle Center would send this seeing how no one in the store knew WTF a gauntlet was when I went to purchase a pair!!!

Now that is kinda funny!

[DarcShadow]

FYI, I have the club cannopies if anyone wants to swing by and get them for the weekend. I'll be home all day Friday till about 5 or so.

[fixxervi6]

I would like to nab them but not sure how to get em

[Rhino]

1. Get in car
2. Drive toward DS's place
3. Stop halfway to charge the car
4. Arrive at DS's place, chat while charging the car
5. Load canopies
6. Head toward home
7. Stop halfway to charge the car
8. Arrive home with canopies
9. Curse DS for living in BFE

9. Curse DS for living in BFE

I do that every time I head that way.

[Stardog]

I have one that you are welcome to. I will not need it until the 23rd.

Your closer, I'll probably hit you up.

[Fish R1]

I will be there tomorrow riding level 2. I will be bringing my canopy also.

[Striple]

That's cool, albeit a day early. Good to see you healed up and back on the track!

Surely you mean Saturday not tomorrow? I added you to the saturday column just in case.

[Fish R1]

There are certain times of the week when I dont even remember my name. You want me to remember what day it is?
I saw this comment on another forum yesterday. I am sure everyone has seen it before or heard it in other context.

If I cant eat it, race it or have sex with it....... Then whats the point?

I can always remember simple phrases like this. Remembering how old I am on a Wednesday? I would not bet on it.

Well I *HAD* an EZ-Up. Apparently that has been 'donated' as well. Hrmph.

[Striple]

Rich and I each have an EZ-Up, but one of them will fit about three bikes, and the other one offers shade and seating room for 4-5 peeps. Somebody needs to bring additional canopies, or be prepared to work on your tan.

[toy752]

Well on a impulse buy I am signed up for level 1 Sunday. Anyone got a trailer that can grab my bike and bring it home for me? I will be willing to pay for gas!!

[Striple]

Sorry, my trailer is already full. See you on Sunday!

[toy752]

I've got a trailer and a buddy coming. Charles is coming in level one add him Shaun.

See you next Tuesday?

[Striple]

I got us a pretty decent pitting spot, on the right hand side just as you approach the classroom building (about 50 or so yards from the building). Look for my bikes & trailer. I'll be there around 7am.

[Striple]

Also, bad news on the chair front: it appears that I have broken a few chairs lately, and only have one functional chair right now. Please bring chairs if you can!

[shilka99]

I found your bikes Thomas but havent seen anyone else yet. I'm so used to teaching i forget i dont have to arrive so early when just riding for fun.

[Chucls]

Yea I'm in for some Sunday funday action in lvl 1. I will be bringing my trailer and ill throw some extra chairs in their for who ever needs then or would like to use them. My canopy took a ride in the wind in the last set of storms that went through good ole Granbury.

Well folks I did it, I crashed on round robin.

Low side going into the back 3, didn't even make 1 lap. Cold un scrubbed tires. I slid and tumbled for a bit, I had enough time to think "shit I hope my bike isn't tumbling too". I stopped, sat up, saw my bike laying out in the grass and I was like YES it didn't tumble.

Got my ass up and ran off the track before I was gonna get ran over, picked up my baby and turned off the key. BTW going to the gym makes a huge difference in picking up your bike, it was super easy

Looked it over, it looked good, fired it up, said screw it and road it into the pits. No black flags, pulled up to the track marshal he was like, what's up.. I was like I crashed out, so we looked at the bike and he said, well it looks good. Dave rolled up and was like what happened, I said just slid out, he asked how old my tires were I said brand new, he said well go back out and take it easy ramp up slow. Told him I was going to pull it in and look it over real good first.

My next session out the track was starting to warm up but I was still feeling off, wasn't fully trusting the tires and all, I noticed mental distraction more than normal, seams, patches, things I don't normally notice so I was having a hard time "looking ahead". But, it did help me with one thing, I finally noticed the patches in wagon wheel, I've NEVER seen them before. I think the slide just mentally put me off my game. By the afternoon I was feeling a lot better but I never felt 100%.

Here is the session right after my newbie wipe out

Well I think I need to get a lap timer before I go back out on the track. According to my gopro I was consistently running 1:30's and my fastest time was a 1:27:xx....which I am still having a hard time believing. I was also following Scott the Instructor that lap. I am just happy to be running 1:30 at this point.

And congratulations to fixxer for going down in the first lap of the first session and in round robin. I think that deserves multiple achievements if we don't already have them.


And if we don't have and achievement for cartwheeling ones bike that also needs to be created for striple. Thankfully he came out of it ok.

Your Go Pro is pretty close. I timed you 3rd session this morning and you started at 1:43 down to 1:33. Your afternoon session with Scott following you I did not time you but Scott was having to catch up at times when you guys hit traffic. Another situation was Scott caught you right before rattlesnake and passed you. Coming thru little bend and then horse shoe with some clean outside passing you were back in front coming thru boot hill. I am sure between your go pro and Scott's Go Pro you should be able to connect the rest of the dots. Do yourself a favor before the end of the year. Go play with Striple in level 3 for a few sessions. When he is not ducking motorcycles flying thru the air. Let him or Brandi drag you around. Some of the cleanest and time consistant lines are run by either one of them.

When my lap timer was working, which was about every 5th or 6th lap I was seeing :31 :32 for when I was feeling good (which wasn't much) then Shaun you and me were all in a train after you inside passed me and we were clocking a good pace, so I wouldn't be surprised if you turned a few sub :30's out there.

Man what a weekend, that really sucks, what happened?
