    If she can ride all the way around the track unassisted, she has more than adequate seat time!

    having never gone, and just out of curiousity: what kind of track/terrain is it? i mean hows it setup? how long is it?

    According to Billy's email it takes place Saturday? so is the ladies class dependant also on what kind of bike? or just gotta be a lady?
    Who needs boys to ride bad ass toys?

    Don't knock on deaths door. Ring the doorbell and run like hell. He hates that!

    The track is a typical MX track. This one tends to be small, but even that varies since there is an extension which may or may not be useable to due weather conditions. Somebody had some of the MX races uploaded on youtube. Im thinking it was Speedbump. That would give you some idea.

    The Women's Class is an open class at this time. Should it eventually grow enough, I would split it, either by trike size or skill level, depending on the field of participants, but right now we are probably looking at half dozen riders at best.

    Hopefully riders will remain honest, and gender verification will never be required!

    Man Tim...you're leaving that one wide open for my vulgarity. I'll refrain.

    Thanks for explaining...I'm not even sure I would be able to say what a "typical" mx track would be like though....i'm a duner. lol.

    Your snappy and witty response is duly noted! You have won a Trikefest 2005 Video in MPG format on CD, which contains a lot of MX footage. PM me your address. We just cant have you desert rats being ignorant of midwestern motocross!

    Bryan....I am no good at hills or off camber stuff either. Trust me on this. But, I am sure you will see my behind out there. Don't think this race really is so much about winning as it is the "ladies" getting a chance to go out there and have some fun too.
    Tim's right....if she can make it around the track unassisted no matter how fast or slow then she can be involved in this race.
