Had a good time at Dumont Dunes CA! Was nice to get out of the cold for a bit. My new to me KLX450R continues to impress so far I’m really happy with it.

About ten hours from home but totally worth it. The dunes themselves were really good. I liked them more than sand mountain UT but not nearly as much as St. Anthony ID—my favorite.

Would like to get back down there with some saddle bags and knobbys. So much exploring to do 😎

I'm extremely grateful to all my friends who got me into this here on RME. And I'm very grateful for my family who've been so supportive to spend half their weekends this year out in the desert!

UMORA Over 30 Amateur. 2nd Place (out of 54)
158points ÷ 7 races = 22.57 average points × 150% = 33.857 work points= 191.857 - 11 (lowest score drop) = 180.857
Good job. It won't make much difference, but for work points, you calculate your average after you remove your drop

147/7=21
21*1.5=31.5
31.5+147=178.5

We spent another short weekend in Mesquite. This was for round 4 of the RMX winter motocross series. Conditions were extra wet and muddy Friday, with DEEP DEEP ruts on Saturday. She didn’t ride very well, and I learned she needs to focus on confidence in ruts.

2 days- Jan 26-27

Totals
Leimomi: 9

Rhino Rally was good to me and Stac, we both got podium finishes.
She ran 4th through the banners, got up to second and dumped it maybe a mile from the finish but held onto 3rd.

I ran 1st start to finish.

Stupid 50s 😂
Pretty sure the kickstart return spring broke.
So I got to see how good Momma's Kawi worked as a recovery vehicle.
