jreilly Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Was wondering what most people do in the off season.Here in upstate NY I can be found at my favorite mountain every saturday morning for my 3 hours of riding practice.Keeps my balance good and we ride the logs,boulders and frozen creeks down the mountain.JRVisit My Website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Luckily, inthe UK we don't really have an off season. If you are prepared to travel you can ride every weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffsgasgas Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 We move into the barn out here in Michigan Jim. We also ride trials bicycle in the tunnels of Detroit. Oh and go to rays mountain bike www.raysmtb.com in Cleveland! Great cross training. --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I cry foul! Not fair, you get back outside in the slush and cold like the rest of us! Is that JimG's old Sherco with the near future Expert Pilot? sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_nc Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 In NC we ride all year. Had a get together last weekend at a local farm - 60 degrees by noon, pealing off the sweatshirts. It's almost nicer this time of year. Doing a complete trial in 90 degree weather is tough. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffsgasgas Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 That would be the Joe Keutchey <sp? and jims old sherco in his barn up north. The kid is amazing. I think i have convinced him to stay down in advance but when (not if) he moves up to expert i will be bumped down a place. He wont quit and has zero fear.... sucks for me... We are going down to florida for the fun in the sun here in a couple of weeks and were out practicing in his barn. Shhhh its a secret. If it gets nice this weekend I might be heading to the Rouge. Randy you down? You still have to come out there to ride with the hobo's hahahaha. --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernnorm Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 JR its been an annoyingly cold and icey winter here in WI so instead of riding shed we have been bench pressing and dead lifting dead SCORPAs as in Wills Next Up video (kidding actually because there are almost no Scorpas in WI Do know of one not dead but close) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjax Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hey Biff, Who all is going down to Ocala? Joe (sr) mentioned that you guys were headed down there. Is Robert R going? I can't do anything that weekend, but am thinking of a long weekend sometine in March that will be for both off <mention of this company is not permitted on Trials Central. Please delete this post>. I have a buddy in NC who guides us around Brown MT area near Morganton, NC. (great rock & hilly terrain) Was thinking of hitting TTC after that. Joe Sr is up for that one, perhaps a few others as well. NO plan yet- just ideas. Any interest? Do you have a go fast bike too? Hey Sam, I sure wish I could make to your new event ground for the two in April- just way too busy that time year- no fun- just work. Will you always be doing your event in April? If it's after May I can make it. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windfall Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Biff, let me know when you're headed down to the Rouge. Not Sat. though, I'm taking the CCW class. I haven't even looked at my bike since Thanksgiving weekend. I definately am going to need some riding time before Sam's event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstgear Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Ok. Biff & Joe and the rest of you guys.. enough with the practicing..So far my training has been adding the extra layer needed to stay warm outside if I do attempt to ride.. Looks like a nice set up Joe's got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you always be doing your event in April? If it's after May I can make it. Keith Well Keith here is my plan. Ocala will be Aaron, Joe, Pat and myself. Pat might not have his bike there if he does not get cracking. We are polishing the frame on the montesa and it has been sitting in my kitchen for the past couple of months. Pat and i are flying down to tampa next friday and back on monday night. Weather permiting my pastey white a$$ will be on a beach for part of that. In april i was planning on going to ttc to watch the world round and work on our trials in flint. (think mud section) Randy, No ttc this winter? I will let you know when I am going out next. Scott, How much oil does an 03 rev3 take? 1000 cc? I have to practice to stay just a little worse than you man. Besides you have your brother trying to get back in it so you two should be out there every day... hahahaha. --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstgear Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Biff Rev 3 gear box takes 500cc of oil during oil change. I just received my bike in this week so if all goes well I will start riding soon. Goof luck to you the 4 of you Michigan guys down South.
