President's Day 2001: Ogilby
(Scroll down for photos)

For President's Day, I met up with several chatters again and met some new people as well. The chatters that made it were Mike330R, JeffH, BCRC400ex, Surfer, LT80, WBGO, Knight, and Fire2881. I got to Ogilby Friday night around 9:30pm, got my camper setup, and hung out around the fire.

Saturday morning I put on a new front sprocket and my duning tires and was ready to ride. I went with WBGO and a couple others to watch him shoot some photos of a Raptor and powervalved Banshee he was testing. I came back to camp and a big group of us went for a dune ride. We did a couple more rides during the day, hit Patton hill for some dragging, and about eight of us went to Pair-A-Dice by Gordon's Well to eat. After we got back, several of us went for a night ride and duned over to Test Hill. Like usual, the hill was packed and pretty wild.

On Sunday, a big group of us went on a ride in pursuit for the perfect jump. We found a couple OK jumps but WBGO found one he really liked. It shot you up in the air with a pretty good landing. On my third jump though, I landed pretty hard on an angle and hurt my ankle. I stopped jumping but I ended up doing some dragging at Patton on the way back and spanked some Honda big bores. After we got to camp, I took my boot off and my ankle had swollen up so bad it looked like someone put a baseball in it. It hurt the rest of the day and night and I didn't do anymore riding. In the afternoon, everyone duned over to the sand drags at Gordon's Well so I took my truck over and was able to check out the action there. When I got back, we all had some dinner, watched some videos Fire2881 shot, and hung out around the fire.

I was hoping to do a ride on Monday before I left but I was hurting too much so I packed up and headed out around 10:30am. I ended up going to the doctor for my ankle on Wednesday and had a badly sprained ankle but no broken bones. Even with hurting my ankle, I still had a great time as always. The weather was partly sunny to sunny with temps in 70's. Who could ask for better than that in February.
