2011 TDay in the Dez

Lets see where we are in all this...Oh yah day two for me and I get a call from Rack as I am eating breakfast at Dennys with my little ones that I need to hurry up so I can go on the CDA/Rack ride. So I did and told my little soil sampler to hang back because it was going to be "fast paced, lots of hills and more of a death march" I could see this in Racks eyes when I pulled into camp suited up and he started whispering sweet nothings into CDa's ear about where we should go. CDA had a smile on his face. :smirk: So not to many pictures to start out but I did enjoy every spot they took us. I was running about third and fourth position for most of the day and could tell the area is just on bitch-en trail after another. Here is the hill that we all cleared except for G-man and of all people CDA, Travace, your video is priceless. CDA did go up and down it a couple times to teach it a lesson. Here is CDA going back down for the second time I think.

G-man gave it at least three charges, but failed. He did come close.

My old rusty brown ford rolled into camp around 1:30 am friday morning. A cool, windless 42 degrees. The desert was sleeping. Except for the one generator humming in the distance, our clanging of tent poles and beer bottles was the only sound. Crawled into the truck tent and slept until the tent became warm with the sun's rays.

I rip the WR down the trail for mid morning cobbweb removal. 20 hours on this top end, and new shoes... feels like magic.

Meet trav and we head out to find an abandoned MX track NE of camp.

Alright I will post up the rest of the pics I have on the Camera. This is a little trip we took with the Juniors. Rack and I took CDA Jr, P841 Jr Jr and Yama-Dawgg (A Jr by real names) on a fun filled ride. We threw everything at these boys and they did great and I believe they had a great time as well.

Rack in one of his famous canyons. I took the short cut up and over. The boys were already through waiting for us at the bottom.

CDA Jr. Starting his climb up this little loose hill.

Almost there. That 2 stroke sounds so sweet when in the power band.

CDA Jr catching up to the group.

Here is CDA Jr. sizing up the line he wants to take.
DSC01518.jpg

And off he goes.
DSC01519.jpg

And Almost there...:thumb:

P841 Jr. Jr taking his turn.

Up he goes.

And there is the top.

Yama_Dawgg already cleared the top when I went up, so I did not get a picture of him going up.
 
So after the hill climbing we threw them off the Geek Slide and headed out the canyon. We made a right in the sand wash and headed for "Launch Gulch" We hit launch gulch and headed up. I was running sweep and two guys stopped and said there was 1 bike and 1 quad coming down in their group, so I waited there. Right then, about 20 bikes came cruising by. I looked at the guys next to me and they gave me the :noidea:. I thought I missed a race or something. After they all went by, I took off to catch the group and find this quad they were talking about. Found him and his buddy lifting the quad off this ledge. Did not get a pic so only in my memories.

We were almost out of the canyon and I made a hard right up this little hill that dropped straight down the other side. I guess the boys followed me.:devil: I went up a little hill climb and came back down to a good spot to get pics.

Here is P841 Jr. Jr. already at the the bottom. Rack is there with his finger switching.

CDA Jr taking a look with Yama_Dawgg looking on.

This is just before he grabs a little too much front brake. Rack has the best shot of the next step.
DSC01526.jpg

And down he goes. He is looking at Rack, going "Great another Dirt Nap on film."

Good thing I have weight training in college or this would be a tough lift.
DSC01528.jpg

:thinking: My front end seems to be a little bent.
DSC01529.jpg

Off we go to meet up with Dad.
DSC01531.jpg

Yama_Dawgg did a much better job at clearing this section.
DSC01532.jpg

What's up dad, let me just swing this around.

Rack puts the camera away and takes off.
DSC01534.jpg

Not sure where Jr. Jr is trying to go.
DSC01530.jpg

He got it all figured out and off he goes to meet the group.

More to come.....
