Madison Dual Sport



Keeping things fun in the off season and mixing it up a with a enduro ride in Madison this weekend. 120 miles of single track "hero sections", fields, dirt roads, private property and some black top roads. Its a little different doing 120 miles with a 450 cc engine to help you, but its still alot of work keeping it upright.

The little bit of rain that they got in the morning made everything a muddy mess, which actually made it funner. Power sliding into every corner and roosting the guys behind you isnt something that you really can do on a mountain bike. Flying through the hero sections on a dirt bike at high speeds is pretty similar to a mountain bike except the front brake on a mtb is the clutch and the back brake is the front brake, you get used to it pretty fast.

My Specialized Sworks is going feel even lighter than normal after this ride.
