Title: Let's hear it for DUB! (II)
Post by: GreenMachine on January 21, 2015, 03:34:26 PM
Congratulations to Dub for eclipsing the 1,000 post wh*re barrier!

He's also the second most active current SSA forum member (http://www.sierrasportbike.com/smf/index.php?action=stats) too, posting lots of colorful threads in the race section and elsewhere:

...to name a few. 

And he's also taken top honors for being second to only one other SSA rider to not only 'participate in' the lunacy that is the SSA Fecta Ride (https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=I-580&daddr=I-580+to:Unknown+road+to:CA-89+S+to:CA-89+S+to:CA-89+N+to:Wentworth+Springs+Rd+to:Mosquito+Ridge+Rd+to:S+Auburn+St%2FPlacer+Hills+Rd+to:Dog+Bar+Rd+to:La+Barr+Meadows+Rd+to:Ridge+Rd+to:Co+Route+S620+to:Oroville-Quincy+Hwy+to:CA-162+W+to:Quincy,+CA+to:Quincy+La+Porte+Rd+to:Quincy,+CA+to:Co+Route+S620+to:Sierraville,+CA+to:I-80+E&hl=en&ll=39.174788,-120.701294&spn=1.198721,2.614746&sll=39.184369,-121.027794&sspn=0.074911,0.163422&geocode=FRAJWgIdh0Xc-A%3BFVKBVwIdUqbb-A%3BFb3DVAIdwVvc-A%3BFWvsTQIdgB3d-A%3BFYyiTQIdvB7g-A%3BFcXjUAId7L3Y-A%3BFb4mUgId7-_S-A%3BFe_MUwIdROTO-A%3BFU1BVAIdGDzK-A%3BFZi7VAIdpJnJ-A%3BFaz5VQIddPDI-A%3BFYp1WQIdp2DJ-A%3BFZ6sXQIdZPLO-A%3BFTpYXQIdfsrD-A%3BFTwIXAIdLBXD-A%3BFURjYQIdGH7K-Ckj48MIYlycgDERPeGrPcDrBA%3BFc7CXQId4DTK-A%3BFURjYQIdGH7K-Ckj48MIYlycgDERPeGrPcDrBA%3BFdSBXAIdEunP-A%3BFaIWXAIdfFjT-Cl3SkPo5_ebgDFkbEFSWol1GA%3BFYQ0WwIdmp7b-A&oq=topsy&t=h&mra=dme&mrsp=10&sz=13&z=9) (all SSA group rides in one day), but also 'complete them.'

2013 SSA Fecta (http://www.sierrasportbike.com/smf/index.php?topic=3881.msg36395;topicseen#msg36395)
2014 SSA Fecta (http://www.sierrasportbike.com/smf/index.php?topic=4059.0)

So good job on that aspect as well!

There are two types of people on internet forums: Those who care about post count and those who don't.

I didn't aspire to make it to 1000 posts when I joined, it's just something that happens when you are active in the community long enough.

Thanks for the recognition none the less.

What are your goals in 2015?  Riding-wise I mean.

I thought for sure Dub won a race or something when I saw this thread. So Wiles, how long have you been training to get to 1000 posts?

Winter/Spring - Keep riding dirt bikes every weekend. I love it.
Spring/Summer - Race as many AFM rounds as I can afford and attend. Achieve top 10 finishes in my first year as an expert. A tall order in the highly competitive classes I will be racing. Coach at as many Precision Trackdays as I can attend. Do Sunday rides every week that I'm available, do an overnight NorCal coast trip.
-Stretch Goal: Take a road trip to race with another organization at a new track, omra @ PIR, wmrra @ The Ridge, UtahSBA @ Miller, or CVMA @ Chuckwalla.
Fall/Winter - Buy a KTM 300 for the winter 15/16 dirt riding season.

lol. I use a dictation application so I can just speak my way to astronomical post counts.

That's my dry sense of humor talking.   Fact is I've learned more from dub on the forum than the other way around I'm sure.
