Spaugh 1 Posted January 13, 2011 Starting in late November the BLM in Washington stated that there would be cost recovery applied to any Special Recreation Permit (SRP) not already presented to the local office for approval. At this time OTB was the only club to have in a permit for the 2011 season. So District 38 will be changing venues in the early part of 2011 so we are not on BLM land and cannot be charged the cost recovery fee. This is an awesome course and could be the last desert race held in the desert until they get things sorted out. Riding a crosscountry bike at the track no bueno! I will make it out there Fri night or Sat morning. If you leave the pit row and home check stakes for Sat I'll pound them. See ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daijones 0 Posted January 13, 2011 I haven't ridden in desert, don't like riding in dust and prefer tight and technical but I guess I need to give it a try once, other than fact we may have some moisture would this be good race to try, is it just WFO and whoops, assume 530 would be better than my 300?? Maybe I should just come along and look see for this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree 0 Posted January 17, 2011 Sure Ken we always enjoy your help. Sure to be a good time. As for 300 vs. 530 it all depends on how you handle each. There probablly will be some sand in this course and some hills. Power vs weight is always a dilema. either choice will be great. Let me know who is coming out.

JohnnyAirtime 2 Posted January 17, 2011 D38... there's always sand, always dust. And some if it's WFO, and some rocks, some whoops.... a little bit of everything, just no trees or single track. I strongly suggest a "look", before you race a place your not familiar with. But what do I know?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Here's a link to an article I submitted on the race. East County Magazine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
