Title: Getting back into Riding - West Rapid City
Post by: Jordan Marshall on April 20, 2016, 10:30:38 PM
I have been on a slight hiatus from hills riding for a few years.  My kids are finally getting a little bit older and I will be trying to get out more than I have for awhile.  I go on one or two bigger trips a year (Montrose CO, Worland WY) but I want to into more normal weekly riding again.  My "fun" ride is any type of single track.

It is possible that I know a few people on this board but I have lost touch with everyone (used to ride a little with Thore Jenshus and the Thursday night group).

Anyway - I'm Jordan Marshall and I just got a "new to me" KTM 530 XCW to replace my YZ450.  I have a 6 year old and 4 year old twins along with a wife that works for Life Flight (strange hours), so I will squeeze in rides when I can.  I would really like to get to know some people that I can ride with.

Welcome Marshall, you'll have plenty of people to ride with around here.  One guy you will know for sure is "Fletch"  Mike Letcher.  He also knows and rode with Thore on Thursdays.

Welcome Marshall. Kids have a way  taking us away from riding for a bit but we always find our way back.

Yup - I know Mike (or apparently it's Fletch now).  I have run into him a few times over at Thore's over the past few years.

You will have to get your tire pressure dialed in really good if you are going to hang with Donovin.  ;)

But you do have a new bike so it's probably faster than the old one.

I don't think any of that is going to help me....
