Yep, they need her up in the big show ASAP. Always the same top 3 ladies on the top step unless out injured. Fresh speed needed to challenge the top ladies.

second text from potential buyer of my bike What is your best price?

my answer was
The best price is the one you are willing to pay and the price I am willing to accept. I am asking $3500, you more than welcome to make me an offer and if we can negotiate and agree on a price then you will get the best price!

Thankfully nobody bothered yet to lowball me so I must be patient in my responses...... maybe I should send BBLB after the Darwin award winners for a good comment from him.

I can't wait to go back to Silverstar, T minus 9 days for my departure to ride bikes!!!!
I rode Panorama on the DH bike and I will be back there, more of a mixed bag with really good jump line in Hells Bells. Once you figure out the speed and pay attention to side wind when airborne.... thankfully none of us bit it on the jumps, one tossed it OTB on Moose Powder where we were trying to follow this guy Mike who placed fifth at the Revelstoke Enduro.... that was so much fun!!!! he did admit that jumping wasn't his strength so we had to lead the way for him to push himself, of course we obliged...

It looks like I might be going to ride Rossland early next week then Silverstar!

7 more working days until one week off. I need it, the grind is grinding me down.

On positive note, Silver Star has been all world this year. I rode so much this weekend (all three days) my back is aching like an old man. Oh wait... I am an old man. Moderation this week and next is key leading up to FF.
Again tonight we got a sold 45 mins rain a few hours ago. Mother Nature just keeps delivering enough rain to keep things tacky and smoke free.
“It's a so succulent, so succulent.”
If this trend holds one more week you guys will get the best SS has to offer. Fingers crossed.

Do you need help? I haven't done that since I was a kid at my aunt and uncle farm but could be fun especially if it means you can come to Fossil Fest Darcy.

Thanks it's all about timing, can't cut it until there is 5days of no rain in the forecast. So far the forecast is rain until Tues/ Wednesday next week. Cut Thursday start baling Friday pick up from the Feild Sat /sun. I might get lucky and the hay guy might want to leave it until the long weekend.
