Title: Tues and Thurs Night TT and flat track, Santa Clara MX
Post by: DanTheMan on November 10, 2008, 09:08:18 PM
Anyone with dirt bikes up for running some TT/flat track on Wednesday nights? SCMX opens up the oval and TT track from 3-9pm every Wednesday. Cost is 20, and they run groups depending on how many people show up. And I guess they alternate between the oval and the TT. For those that dont know TT is like a 4 turn road course in the dirt with a small jump in the middle. Lots of fun and great practice on riding dirt. Helps to improve street skills also.

Anyone up for it? ill be there this 11/12 Wednesday.


Cost: $25
running 3pm-8pm on Tuesday and thursday
9am-3pm Sat and Sunday
call for latest info: 408-595-0901

TT in Santa Clara?!?

~eye starts twitching~

Why yes, I'd love to come.   ;D

I'll see if I can drag some co-workers out too.

Oh, this is so going to get ugly, now we've just got to talk Someguy into coming.  Start the peer pressure!  [laugh]

How crowded does this place get?

Sweeett!
I'm confirmed in with a buddy from work.
Should be there between 4 and 5, depending on traffic and such.

Good thing, it was closed. I'm going to call beforehand and find out next time.

Closed? Huh?  Wow, that would have sucked, guess getting stuck at work wasn't all bad luck.

Why were they closed?

Also noticed that the website says open from 3 till dusk, and there doesn't look to be any lights on the TT track.  Wouldn't that imply that they close at like 4:30 now?
Ew.

Such a cute lil thing!

I'm out for the near future on this, got moved to a 2pm to 11pm shift at work.  Kinda kills the "after work ride" thing.

Though, Metcalf is surprisingly empty at 9am on a Thursday.    ;D

Hey DTM! How you feeling this morning?   ;D

Thanks for joining the co-worker and I at Hollister yesterday!
Same thing next week?  And this time we've gotta get DATV out there too!  [moto]

Open invite to anyone who wants to join us, we're pretty consistently down at Hollister every Sunday at this point!  We tend to find the, um, "Trail less traveled" so it's not totally newbie friendly, but there's plenty of space to play with the new trails that they opened!

Guess I should be thankful that Jammen has only mostly taken me to newbie-friendly areas. ;)

Thanks again, that was a lot of fun. I am a little sore today but not too bad. The park get real interesting once you get off of the green and blue trails. I probably went over the handle bars no less than three times, and three or four more graceful dismounts. Mark me down on the "in" list for Sundays, ill be there.

Hehe, you only had a couple people wheelie past you on the TT track, it was a very newbie friendly area.  (Sorry again!!!)

Sweet!  At least this time we know you've got the 125 tinger, maybe we'll skip some of the bigger hills.  "He's got a 250, he'll be fine!" [laugh]
And I also know not to laugh at you when you go over the handle bars, karma sucks.   [laugh]

Totally safe! Except for the spaz on the blue bike riding behind you the practicing wheelies...
What was wrong with that guy?   [laugh]   [laugh]  [laugh]

No worries the 125 can make it. I just need to learn how to ride it.

LOL we heard you coming up on the trail then "ah make the beast with two backs" and silence.  [laugh] [laugh]

Wow, you guys heard that... and here I was trying to go over the handle bars all stealth like.   ;D
Though I suppose the sound of 275 pounds of bike crashing into a tree is hard to miss.   [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

I don't think you even caught the first time I fell over on one of the tight switchbacks.  So used to dropping the bike on those things it was back up and going before you turned around.   [laugh]

Like I said, we end up having a lot of fun on these rides.   [thumbsup]
