TO PRE-RUN OR NOT TO PRE-RUN IS NOT THE QUESTION
IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO BEAT THE LOCALS. Doesn't matter if it's road, dirt or a mix. If you're from outta town, and it's you're first time...
... local knowledge is gonna kill ya.
Not the locals,
they're nice,
until not.
They're going to...
- enter and exit the corners
- roll the blind drops
- ride the surges
... faster and better.
They've mastered the course,
and they will spend considerably less energy,
conserving to stick it to us when we make the slightest error.
So, we pre-ride and do our best to...
- relax
- recon
- remember
... to close the gap.
I was thinking about this weekend's BWR AZ...
- which I won't be able to pre-run
- lot's of terrain I've never checked out
- some of which I've ridden during Cactus Cup
... and realized how lucky I am.
My local pal said...
... Call me, I gotta tell ya about miles 55ish on.
Sometimes it just pays to make friends with everyone we met.
