COTA status

 I kind of expected to see at least a few posts on the forum with you all having a little time on your hands? Hope you all are doing well and staying safe and healthy and getting to ride at little while "social distancing".

I did have an observation - Jay Terry pretty much invented Social Distancing many years ago. Such a trend setter.

Most the posts have been happening on the Facebook page as of late - riding is still happening when time/weather still allows.  Luckily social distancing is fairly easy to maintain while blipping through the rock gardens!

Dave Pyle, The last event at Sweeten's was pretty tough! Check out these results. Our lad Clarence has risen to a new level, and is pretty dominant, since he gave up sugar and hamburgers. Not sure it's worth it, but it obviously has worked.

Second set of results

Jay,

Thanks for posting those results! Great to see you guys getting some events in. Looks like a good turn out and everyone got their $'s worth by the look of the scores! I am looking forward to making it back up to the NW to ride again and try to redeem myself after last year at Diamond Mill !

Dave: Have you ever seen so many dnfs in a local trial? I hope these guys come back. Not everyone enjoys trials that difficult. For some sick reason I LOVE them this hard, even though my performance wasn't as good as I would have liked. It's still super fun anyway.

I heard all about your crash at Diamond Mill on Sunday of the national. I hope you healed up ok. Us older guys don't heal up that quick as you know. Glad to hear you're still going for it anyway. Me too, I mean in general, it's the only thing to do. I think these days there are very few guys around who used to ride at Tiger Canyon English trials.

Jay, I have not seen that many DNF's in a while!

Ya, I ran out of talent at the National, that's the first time that I have missed a day of work from a Trials injury in 47+ years of riding. Broke my collar bone and scapula, 5 ribs in 9 pcs. Needed surgery on the ribs, 23 screws and 4 plates, they went in from the back. Guess I am a delicate flower? Doing pretty well now, but still not 100%. I started riding again in Dec. so that is a plus. My Wife Michelle is a Saint for taking care of me and putting up with me!
