So I'm assuming that we will still have to cross that really deep creek crossing. That was like some stage 3 rapids last year. I thought I was going to get swept away last year. Four strokes beware!

It won't be that bad, the water levels will fall a ton by Sunday. The problem for me is the mud but it may not be so bad. Keep in mind, we are going backwards from last year so that rock hill at the last half mile won't be a problem. From a hbgp rider. Thanks

For anyone chasing points this year Bolivar is a must.A lot of riders are likely to skip this one because of the rocks and mud,and you stand to finish higher than other events.I finished 7th in Cvet last year and was last with only one lap. At one point I was laying on my back in a steam with my bike on my chest.Luckily It was a shallow stream!I would have had more fun if I could have stopped myself from cussing!

Here's the kicker I'm thinking about doing it again. :shock:

I've heard it said that insanity is repeating the same actions expecting different results. :twisted:

Its been a long time since Collins and I need my fix,and my practice loop is under 20 feet of water.

Yes Joe you should absolutely go... I mean with you on your back in the creek with your bike on your chest it would make an excellent passing lane - ya know?

Seriously - what is the camping deal Dan? :wink:

Yo Dennis, I have yet to enjoy the hospitality that Bolivar has to offer... so I can't confirm on the camping situation one way or the other.

But hell, all you need is a truck stop parking lot and a cold can of spaghetti right? :mrgreen: .(cough,cough!)

Due to the state of the local economy, Kevin and myself will not be attending though we both wanted to race 'Chadwick North'... oh yeah!

Doesn't matter anyway, I'm changing the walker over to WP suspension so the legs are in Colorado right now getting swapped out... and YES, I'm going linkage free, get used to it!

Stay safe, Everybody!

The saddest sound in all MotorSports is the noise the drivetrain makes as you slowly coast to a complete stop.
