Thread: hare and hooonds

Hi guys,

doing my first h and h on sunday, does anyone have any tips for me? also is it a dead start so you have to start your engines after the "gate drops"?

cheers

what event you doing?need a back pack defo

yeah i'll be taking a camelbak with water, anythin else i should carry? eh doing the event at stonehaven this sunday.

Unless the plan changes again it will be a dead engine start, riders on bikes. Classes will push their bikes up to the line in turns, expert / 040 / club / club B / sportsman. The le mans style start that we used last couple of years wont work with the start at this piece of ground.

A lot of courage, patient and focus on your riding.

is hare and hounds the same format as enduro or do i just try and get as many laps in the set amount of time or what?

just go at a steady pace all the time them that do 100mph are usually picking their bike up on the next corner!!good look and lets see some pics!!

dunno if anyone will be taking pics or not cos the guy i'm going with is riding in the class above me. just worried i wont be able to start the bike on the line and will it not need a proper warm up if its been standing for ages?

the ones i have done you warm your bike before killing the enine the starter drops the flag you start your bike which is warm then go dont worry just start it normal you always get a few that dont start its the taking part bit you will enjoy it!!

the 1s i do are normally dead engine start,as i think most are,i tend to stop twice in 3hours on my 250 sxf,take it easy on 1st lap incase theres a few nastys then just enjoy it at ya own pace,theres so many riders that go flat out then 2 laps later there in the pits fucked!!you prob wana soften up suspension bit if your on ya sxf mate
