Desert version of "The Daily Grind"

BeamerBob - 15-4-2011 at 03:59 PM

Ok, you creative geniuses! What should I call my forthcoming thread blogging my riding at Ivanpah as a local? I always loved reading Phreerider's Daily Grind threads and want to offer the same kind of info on my Ivanpah trials and tribulations. I felt like I learned something vicariously every time I read one and hope to spread my good fortune of having such a fantastic place to ride back to the forum.

How I got spoiled that riding anywhere else seemed like a waste of time.

I was gonna say "dust in the wind" also...

Very good stuff! Flexi, I'm actually worried about the lakebed syndrome. On the other hand, I've actually been dreaming of all the fun the guys are going to be having at JIBE soon. After riding there on Jekyll Island for 2 days last fall, Angus commented that the lakebed doesn't have much of an advantage over the JI beach. We both agreed that other than the ability to just point your buggy in the direction you want to go while only considering the angle of the wind and maximizing your pull from it, the hard sands at Jekyll are only less desirable because of the width of the beach (not being 3 miles wide) and somewhat less traction. Also, Angus has never worn out a set of tires, and I was showing cords on my front tire at nabx after less than 60 miles. But I promise not to complain about tires wearing out because of riding at Ivanpah.

I like the words dust and wind as well as crack. I have a couple months before I need to come up with something, so let the creativity continue:bigok:

tires are half your problem ... you might wants to double up on some sizes or i have some tape for you now.

The dusty crack.
Desert wind.
Daily dust.
Cracks under my tires.
Tire fryer.
Pinhole dilemma.
Dust, it's what's for breakfast.
...
Still thinking.

I've understood how to be careful with my kites so far. The boys are going to be a bigger problem.

Like I just said to a local about life, "Ivanpah Cures All". True and it rhymes!

"Kite catching for Wexler!" :lol:

BeamerBob - 17-4-2011 at 08:27 AM

More like "Kite Finding" :lol:

Lots of good choices here and maybe it needs to change every so often to keep from getting stale.
