Make sure you hydrate! Get a drink system if you dont already have one. I know you were probably joking about roosting anyone trying to pass you. Dont worry about them, If they catch you their going faster so let them by. You dont want an angry AA rider behind you, they can get ruthless! Just concentrate on finishing in one piece and have fun. :-D

blackhills, there is alot of great riding especially hillclimbing around lovell and around graybull wyoming. as far as the camping, i suppose you could find a campground in one of those towns. the riding area wouldnt be too great for camping. dirt only no vegetation. never been riding around powell wy. but ive heard there is some great riding there as well. pretty much all blm or state land for riding. you will need the state orv sticker to ride these areas. there are rangers that patrol but as long as you behave and display the sticker they are pretty cool. these areas are wide open for riding. ride prettymuch anywhere you want. if you decide you want to try lovell or graybull let me know and ill try to get some more detailed info and directions for you.

Before I started racing I thought 2 things werent gonna happen.
1. NO minis will catch me or beat me for that matter on my 500 kx
2. No girls will beat me ever.

Well I was wrong on both accounts. Theres some kids on those little bikes that flat out haul the mail. Wayy faster than I ever thought they could go. You can hear the little mfers comin too. sounds like a bunch of angry bees. Humbled me bigtime.

The women who race in the expert class here in district 37. Amy Hasten, Anna Jo Cody(solo'd the baja 500 this year) etc are very fast dirtbike racers and can easily place top 20 overall in our races. Yep got passed by them too.  One of the girls has a sign on the back of her chest protector saying......."You just got passed by a girl" with little flowers painted on and everything. Very very humbling.

BUT as I progressed, and rode smoother and faster. I havnt gotten passed by anymore minis! Yesss

Platypus:
So how did you race go BlackHills?
