Moab time again!

Heading out tomorrow afternoon and will hit the trails Wednesday morning. :veryhappy: Hopefully have a bunch of pictures to share when we get back home. This is a couples trip this year, so the extreme trails won’t be on the ride list this time. My wife hasn’t been out there for 5 years, so it’s her turn to go this year. I think she is more excited about the trip than I am.

Coastal Racing’s John Henry Takes First XC2 Win of the Season

Team UXC Racing Goes One, Two in Single Seat Class

Minneapolis, April 14, 2015- Round Four of the GNCC racing series would have the Polaris Factory Racing Teams travel to Union, SC for The Big Buck where there would be ATV, Side-by-Side and Single-Seat Racing.

Coastal Racing’s XC2 Racer John Henry would come into Big Buck looking for redemption after a tough ride at the first round in Georgia. The finish in Georgia didn’t gave him a tenth-row starting position but he was able to grab the hole shot off the line for his row to give him clear sailing into the woods. The Big Buck course is very tight and fast with very few passing lanes so Henry would have to be very strategic throughout the race to gain ground. His RZR S 900 handled the rough track very well and, on adjusted time, took the win with teammate Sean Bogdan taking second in his RZR.

Team UXC Racing would come into the race off a win at Steele Creek in the 4×4 Pro. Unfortunately, some unlucky circumstances would have Michael Swift and Kevin Trantham finish off the podium but their 4×4 Senior Racer Don Higbee would take third on his Scrambler 850 EPS.

The Single Seat Class would see seven Polaris ACEs enter for the second race of the year. Team UXC Racers Marc Spataro and Josh Copleland would finish one, two in their ROX/Team UXC Racing ACEs. Third would go to Doug Fortner who took second in the first Single Seat Race at The General.

The next GNCC race is the Limestone 100, in Springville, Ind., April 25-26, and the next UTV and Single Seat Race will be the Mountaineer, at Marvin’s Mountain Top, in Masontown, West Virginia.

1st Spring Ride – Ontario

So, I had my first service done, and have been itching to ride. Here most trails are closed for the spring thaw, but thankfully one club doesn’t close their trails. Baxter Severn ATV club.

After attending their AGM, we went for a little trail ride. It was great fun, and I was able to bring the wife along now that I have a legal 2-up. We only ran about 10km, over a couple of hours, but that included a few trailside stops and chats.

We had nothing but sunshine, and temps around 10C. On the trails we had snow, mud, granite, and fun. Sadly my video camera was off for the best slush hole. snow, ice, mud & water, all rolled up into one hole. It was like watching machines spin thick turkey gravy. Otherwise the ride had no drama.

I mounted my cam on the front brush guard, and let it roll. Hopefully this works, here is one attached video, showing some of the bush/terrain we were in. In short, it was great to blow the cobwebs out, and get out in the sun.

Video Upload is taking forever!!! So for now, here a couple of pics to feed the beast 🙂
