Anyway, I'm gettin' old (33) but still pretty adventurous (SOME people call it reckless - but I don't agree!). I'm a CA (AND atypical of course) with a totally flexible work schedule - although it is pretty busy. I've got possibly the world's best golden retriever, and a brand new 300 EXC (in the garage) - although I'm waiting for some aftermarket stuff to arrive..
I live in SW Calgary (Oakridge), used to ride alot but haven't for about 5 years... In the past I've raced motos (highschool), roadraced (university), and raced cross-country's (mid 20's). I used to be pretty good, but it's been a long time! I've been wanting to get back into it for a few years (as well as get a sport bike again) but it's been a hard wait because I REALLY couldn't afford it, now it just can't afford it - so I said darn! and got a new bike! My first brand new dirt bike ever! (can ya tell I'm a little excited! anyway...)
I grew up in Calgary, started riding at about 10, have until 5 yrs ago always had at least 2 bikes (sport and dirt) rode Mclean and Ghost as soon as I was old enough to drive to get there...
I would like to race all of the cross country's and hare scrambles this year (I've counted 4 XC's and 12 HS's) - although I'm not sure about Chisholm and Long Island - depends how many of us can cram into a vehicle to share the gas! I'm hoping to do Porcupine on the long weekend - and I'm always looking for others to share driving/gas with! Usually I'll head up the day before to do a little riding, maybe pre-ride the course and camp.
Basically I plan on riding every weekend, and probably a little during the week also until the snow comes - and then maybe I'll get some trelleborgs or stud up some tires!
Anyway, let's ride! Post back here or mail me at: timtoolguy@hotmail.com
