600ish Posted July 10, 2005 I just got through cleaning the bike up after another muddy Hare Scramble at Diamondback. I finished 3 laps and almost dumped it 50+ times, but never dropped it. The grass was slick, the hills were steep and slimy and the MX track was rutted and flooded between the doubles and some of the turns. I saw an MSR neck brace laying in the woods 🙂 then the guy on a KTM in front of me lost his front fender and I ran over it as it flew right in front of me. There were guys stuck in the deep ruts and mud. I don't enjoy the mud as much as some of these guys, but I treat it as another obstacle, just like the roots, rocks, ruts, trees, etc. You take the good with the bad. After the race I was talking to the 76 yr. old guy on a KTM 2-stroke 😉 that passed me in the woods. When we talked about the mud he said "It was Just Right" 🙂 It was so cool to mee a guy that old who is still running strong and having a good time. This was round 4 of 10 and the next race is in 3 weeks, rain or shine and every 2 weeks after that. It is a challenge when it's wet, but it is a great 8-10 mile course when it's mostly dry. Grass trails, Steep woods trails, and a killer MX track with a lot of elevation to it and some monster bike swallowing whoops. They change it up every race, but basically use most of the same trails just mixed up a little. They have a mini-race after the bikes and an ATV race after that.
