Ken S 164 Posted March 12, 2015 100 Miles of dust and whoops and sand and rocks and cactus while going as fast as you possibly can with 100+ bikes and 100+ Quads on a 25 mile course for 4 laps at the same time. Hands go numb, owe well. Can't feel yours arms anymore, cool. Can see 50 feet through the dust, go faster and pass the fool dusting you out. Back hurts beyond belief, I'll see my chiropractor on Monday. 100 miles of pure fun, I can't wait. Kenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken S 164 Posted March 12, 2015 1st time on a bike. Only buggies and trucks and a couple times on a 250R 3 wheeler a long time ago. I'm betting on seeing 350 Thumper-Darren in the top 3. Dude is stupid fast on that big Husky. I'll be happy if I'm in the middle of the field. Chad will be riding with us also on his KTM so there's at least 3 of us representing SDAR.

350thumper 336 Posted March 13, 2015 hey no pressure. i will be kick starting my left side husky at the start line while all the ktms with electric start take off.. besides im only fast if someone is directly ahead of me or right behind me. kenny kick starts his bike in second gear and throws a huge roost as he takes off leaving me in the dust . the dust will be settling by the time i get my bike fired off! All i really have to do is place before ken and chad for bragging rights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillP 0 Posted March 13, 2015 I might be putting around Superstition Saturday. Is there a good spectator area? Kenny - what number are you? Good luck guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad 0 Posted March 14, 2015 Unfortunately, I think I'm gonna have to bow out on this one.... Work week kicked my arse and I had no time to race prep the bike, body or mind. 100 miles in 80-90 degrees is probably not in me. Ken, Darren... Go out there, kick some ass and have a blast! I'll make the next one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken S 164 Posted March 15, 2015 Wow. What a ride. The most demanding thing I've ever put my body thru. At 47 and 250 pounds. Total carnage around the race course. Bikes laying along side the track with no rider. Riders rolled up in a ball on the ground with no bike insight. Unfortunately a few guys got seriously hurt. The course was way more technical than I expected. All that single track riding I've done really helped. Course was probably 25% technical. 25% deep sand and dunes. The rest was just plain rough. Did my first tail whip in the air today while going off a jump 25 mph faster than I should of. Too bad it wasn't on purpose. Got weird muscle cramps going on in my back and legs. My whole body will be sore tomorrow. Cant wait to do it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillP 0 Posted March 15, 2015 So what place did you guys finish? I stopped by when you were on the 3rd lap but couldn't wait for you to pass. A little warm but didn't seem too bad (sitting in the shade with a cold drink). Made me wish I was 20 or 40 years younger. Here's a couple pics leaving the dry lake.

Ken S 164 Posted March 15, 2015 Don't know what place. The electronic score keeping system broke. I finished and wasn't last. That's a win for me. I was wishing I was 20 years younger as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad 0 Posted March 16, 2015 Nice job, Kenny! I managed 30 miles at McCain and I'm sore... You sir, are impressive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
