I've been thinking about that Stump Jumpers Desert 100 lately. It was super fun last year with all the moisture. Will it be wet again this year? #throwbackthursday #dirtyboy250 #desert100 #KTM #desertracing #enduro #twostroke #2stroke #250XC #redorblackbib #redorblack #sandracing #desert1002018 #stumpjumpersdesert100 (at SJMC Desert 100) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlqUlUh3sU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1spuluaj7r6dx

StumpJumpers 48th Annual Desert 100 - was such an awesome race. I had the best time ever racing. With 6000 people attending, 3300 for Poker Run on Saturday and 1000 racers on Sunday the size of this event was massive. I can't say that I enjoy camping with that many people but the racing clearly made up for that. The start was intimidating but it went off just fine. Every check had about 10 workers getting the racers on their way. In the 50-59 class there were 139 entries but the start was a shared start with the A line going first and the B line going second. Each line was a mile long, side by side with a Le Mans (running) start. My goal was just to have some rides on rubber tires and to try to get into shape for our races up here. I'm pleased to say that I ended up 7th in my class and 11th overall in the 50 mile classes. I loved the terrain and the riding in general.⠀ ⠀ I used the Dunlop AT81RC (Reinforced Carcass) with the Tubliss system and it was money! It is a desert tire so I thought I would try. It was so gnarly with rocks my chain block slider came back smashed but the tires worked great with a bib mousse in front and Tubliss rear.⠀ ⠀ Swipe right to see my trophy.⠀ ⠀ Thanks to StumpJumpers for an awesome event. Also I'd like to thank my sponsors that help me out this year. @cycleworkscalgary @klimmotorcycle @rynopower_canada and @ridedunlop⠀ ⠀ #Odessa #desert100 #stumpjumpersdesert100 #desert1002018 #desertracing (at SJMC Desert 100)

Desert is so much fun. Would you miss the trees?⠀ .⠀ I thought it was going to be too fast without trees but I did like it. There was enough other terrain features to keep the speed in check in most places. Definitely a blast to ride. Can't wait to go back.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @klimmotorcycle @CycleWorksCalgary @rynopower_canada⠀ @RideDunlop @mcussigh791⠀ #dirtyboy250 #desert1002018 #pokerrun2018 (at SJMC Desert 100)
