Just wondering if anyone is interested in doing the upcoming RORR enduro on Sunday, May 25th.
I"m not able to make the Reunion ride so the following weekend I have a pass to go to the enduro.
For the past couple of years I've gone to a couple of endures. I'm not very fast and not terribly competitive, but I enjoy them. I personally treat it more like a trail ride than I do a race. I generally don't keep time. Since I'm slow anyway, I just ride as fast I as I feel comfortable and that usually works out to just about on time (or too slow). I've never got ahead of time.
This one is also a "closed course" enduro, meaning that you don't need a street legal bike.
It looks like its over two hours from Frederick. So I'm looking at a 0530 start, unless I leave the night before.
If nobody wants to come, that's cool. I know I'll have a good time either way.
I was unable get the old avatars reimported. Regretfully, you will have to upload your avatar again. Please report any issues here,.

I'm in.
Are you planning on just signing up Sunday morning or should we coordinate a pre-register? Either way I prefer to be on a late row....

Wife has something going on that weekend, but if you guys are going I'll beg her to skip Sunday so I can go play. :)

I'll be on a red 250r... white truck with a camper on it. Haha I've got spare tubes but no spare bike.
Would love to do the enduro with Phillip, Jay, & Patrick.. what a great DAMN line.. but I'm pretty sure I'll be wooped...

I wish, I wish but no go for me. soon come. Reading Off Road Riders (RORR) Broad Mt is my all time favorite ride
This is THE BEST ride for learning killer trail up at the RAC area (aka Pottsville, Reading Anthracite, 901 Pub, Burma Rd) these are the guys that make and have made ALL the good chit up there, flowing trails for miles and mile on end 65 at least almost every year for twenty years plus.
sign up late as possible, this is personal opinion but is based on many Broad Mt Enduros, they cut lots of new trail every year, the best ways through and around stuff will be best seen in the very rear, the trail doesn't fall apart like in enduros with swampy, soft or loamy dirt. You will see where the line is much easier on the latest lines and the groove or rail will be easier to ride. Key to RORR is to force yourself to ride a little faster, always be at least in second and shift up, try to pour it on every chance you get, sounds weird but everything works better, you get on top of the rocks, make mini jumps where you can, keeping the front wheel light don't worry about the rear, the faster you ride the rail, the closer to the speed and angle that it was made allows you to stop fighting the turns.
this really a great run
