VCHSS 40B class win this past Sunday. Caught, passed and put 2 minutes on the 30B winner too so he owes me a beer.
Last weeks race in central Va was more of a tight technical trail for the first 6 miles, then spent 3 miles in some awesome flowing pines and ended doing a lap on an MX track. (VCHSS is an AMA grand prix series so anything goes as long as it's mostly woods trail) I've figured out that the Beta shines in the technical and quick pine forest with lots of short sprints and diving turns. This 300 feels nimble like a KTM 200 in the technical stuff but you know it's a 300 when you ask it for some quick torque. I still have to get better in the higher speed chopped up open trails where a 4 stroke shines, but I'm improving on that.
Next week is our first mountain race and I can't wait. Thinking of going to a 50T rear and experimenting with a trials tire a little before then. Loving my new bike!!
