Aug 22 - Got Dirt?

            (965/365)
I was looking at a dirtbike yesterday on my way to The Home Depot and wound up talking about a local Trail Club and the fact that there was a 2010 AMA Enduro going on today (Sunday) in Berwick, ME (about 7 miles from my house).
I took my son this morning to catch the start (I've posted a number of photos).  We  soon bored of the start, I mean it was great to see all the bikes and people, but they are DIRT bikes and we were in a High School parking lot.  I figured we'd go swing by one of the checkpoints.
This is the first checkpoint, it's right off Turkey Rd, about a 1/2 mile or so from the Five Corners (yes, a 5 way intersection).  I've commuted this route before (not the dirt part, well part of the dirt part, but not this dirt part) so I know the roads out here well (commuting = This is the complete opposite way for me to get to work, it's a Bike Thing).
When the 400CC guys came tear-assing out of the woods, they were spitting these big ass rocks out about 50 feet or so.  There was so much dust, my Canon was covered in it within 15 minutes.  Somehow the lens made it through unscathed.
So I have renewed my search for a dirtbike (actually a more Dirt-oriented Dual Sport) with a passion now.
