Don't worry Elk. Compared to Pin most of us will be sucking up the place. That kid can ride.

Well Joe, as far as I can tell, it's about 3,400 miles from London to New York City and I'm 90 miles north of NYC, plus 688 miles to WV, so I'd say it's pretty darn far!

can you drive from GB to mainland Europe or the distance too great? I thought they had like a bridge that connects them?
If so how many miles would it be to drive from there to here?

Just roll it. I will roll it the first couple times then just say f it and hit it. If i'm out like not close to home i would probably be more conservative though.

Can a few "lost" riders screw up everyone elses track time? I'm just not sure how I compare with everyone else. I might be able to hold my own then again I might totally stink up the place.

Everybody started somewhere. Don't worry about your riding abilities - dirt riders are great people and they'll remember how it was when they weren't such great riders themselves. Life is not a spectator sport - GO!

What about V.A. I found a place to ride. It is both Track and Trail. Just for you Elko. . But, best of all...It's not to far from the beach(for those who would also just like to chill a day and stay at the beach). They have 10 miles to ride on and 103 acres. So if enyones interested(other than me)heres the site.Yz's Track.
