the course will be released once a week thursday night around 2300hrs, so please keep sending request.
bike forums will not allow google earth files to be posted so you have to email me for the course.
BXRUMBLE@GMAIL.COM , any other email adress i have will not respond.

thanx, hodaddy

hahaha
Thats cuz the first time we went out there amadeo ended up face down in a deep ditch!

Apparently there is a section between points 8 and 9 that's too rugged to be done on track bikes.
You have to endure it trials-style along a narrow wood plank and dirt trail with a 30-ft drop along one side!
fear not goons, we are working on a solution.

BUMP!

...Here we are again with the latest report from up nort!
On sunday we rode it out despite the tired legs and so-so weather conditions, and other than leaving that rider (Karl) behind we managed to get thru without much hassle.

below is a pic, the only one that came out halfway decent (disposable 35mm = bad idea)




we'll be back with more updates soon! and we encourage the rest of y'all to get out and get up to the BX.
