Rhode Island Enduro
Brian decided not to go up to the Little Rhody so I
went up with Drew Smith for the weekend. I
knew it was going to be very rocky from my last visit there so I practiced
pounding rocks the week before the event. Right off the start they tried to burn us in a check right
off the road, which would be common for the rest of the day.
I zeroed the check-in and pinned it through the trail.
At one section there was a big rock garden with a bunch of guys stuck but
I just went straight through the middle and aimed for the big rock to ride over. It worked good and I ended up getting a two in that section
with just two other riders. I was
riding strong and most of my test were on pace with Lafferty and Hawkins, which
was much better than the last time I was up there.
Going into the last section I had third place as my own but I screwed it
up by getting lost in the last test. I
was following trail and the trail turned left but I had my head down and was
charging and blew the last section dropping me back to fifth for the day.
I would like to thank Drew, Jimmy, Milt and Doug for helping out with the
great pit support.
