Thought this was fitting from the Dualigans site. All joking aside, good on ya mate!



“A loser is someone that goes out and comes in dead last. Now you might be thinking what possible pride comes with losing in such a manner. Well, you see, that Loser is better than every single person sitting in the stands. That loser, has taken the field in full knowledge that he or she lacks any semblance of talent that every other person lining up. That loser when they are sitting on the tailgate of their truck while the winners are collecting their trophies sits there with a sense of pride that they in fact took the field when every other person sat comfortably in the stands.
They have faced the fear that keeps every Monday morning quarterback that says things like “you shoulda” when they lose and “we” when they win seated. They, the human armchairs of the world stay behind that little white line out of fear. Fear that they can’t, fear that they will be hurt, fear that has consumed them to the point of no return. They are nothing more than a critic that risks absolutely nothing, yet believes that they are in some sort of bullshit exslted position over those who take the line and then step over it.
The Loser has faced their fear, they are marred by pain, the sweet sting of the dust and have been found lacking. These Losers then step back across the line time, and time again. Who at best may win, but at worst they are ten times the person who than they were before then made the journey across the line.
These losers are our heroes.
They are glory bound each time they step further and further across this line. Because with each step they distance themselves from the crowd. They distance themselves from the those that have risked nothing. From those that are afraid, from those that have become complicit in their own fear.
Yes we are Losers.
But those that risk nothing, are something far, far worse.

They are nothing more than a spectator.
They will never know the glory of what is across that line.
They don’t know victory or defeat.
They are a cold and timid souls that are afraid.
Find out what it feels like beyond the line.

So lose, be a loser.

Because, when some kid tells your kid that his Daddy is a loser.
You kid can respond: “Yea, well, yours didn't even try.”

Lose Gloriously.”

You still rode good Garrett. +30A class is no joke , as I raced it for quite a few years. Actually had some of the best racing of my life in that and the +25 class. Can be super competitive.

Not bad for a woods rider...……….I wish I could throw anchor like that. lol

I love racing our Hare Scramble there but the big downhill into the quarry terrifies me every lap.

As soon as I saw that headline, I thought to myself, only a vet rider would be secure enough to write something like that haha!! Looked like a solid ride to me though, you guys aren't playing out there!!

over 25 and over 30 expert classes are no joke.....sometimes faster than the young guns for sure around here.....those classes are NOT old guys farting around......even over 40 expert is crazy..at least for the opening laps...till we get tired.....I'm looking forward to over 50 class now but I have a sneaky suspicion that class is full of old fast guys......

That was some good consistently fast, mistake free laps. I'm sure when you watched your video you saw where you could pick up some time but overall great riding. I wish I was this good.

Thank you everyone. I had pumped up around lap two, missed pulling my rear-offs a few times, started riding tight from that. Just a little frustrating to be a winner of the class a few years back to be struggling now. Oh well, 35+ class next year. That will give me a little extra motivation to train an try to get that title next year.
