Went out to there with Vizzo, Erickson, and F. Stone.
This was the first ride with the new "W" leaner needle in the carb. It seems to run just off idle and idle much better. Air screw is set to 3.5 turns out, so maybe I could go one needle leaner.
Some really incredible trail out there. The first 1.6 miles was awesome and, at times, scary fast...4th gear tapped then both wheels locked coming into the corner.
The second, third, and fourth sections were like a cool mix of Hancock and the Sumter National. I ended up doing the 4th section twice...Steve was having trouble in there somewhere so I went back around. This section started and ended in the same spot.
I got a flat in the second section and got it patched thanks to Fred and Steve carrying the right stuff with them. Like Fred said, Vizzo went on and we didn't see him for a while.
It was cool when he pulled into the first gas stop and hooked back up with us. Fred and I were dragging a little after 40 miles of trail (an extra 4.1 for me) and Vizzo looked fresh as a daisy after taking the road back to start and getting food & drink. The club had water and orange slices here. They hit the spot.
We ran a nice long section after that...a cool mix of single track with a little bit of whoopy HS section thrown in. We stopped at one point, about halfway through this section. Tony took off first, then Fred, then me about 60 seconds later. Fred let me by and then I pushed hard to reel in Tony. I just got him in sight....about 75 yards ahead....and then my front flat came back.
After that section we called it a day. Did just a little over 50 miles. Lots of fun.
