A PC ride day
No I’m not talking about a political correctness parade held downtown at the entrance to the State Capital, although the way things are going that might not be a bad idea. On second thought forget about that.
I’m talking about a Tom and Carmen ride day at the Prairie City MX track. For the past few months Tom and Carmen have been renting local motocross tracks and inviting up to fifty riders to come out and enjoy a day of riding on a prepped track.
The Sierra Old Timers MC and the Over the Hill Gang hold a number of ride days throughout the year specifically geared to us older riders so we don’t have to directly compete with the eighteen year old crazies and all the other types of riders you normally in counter at a what Tom likes to call a “public” ride day.
So the question I put to Tom and Carmen are you trying to for some reason compete with these other organizations and the answer was a resounding no. “We just want to ride our dirt bikes more and don’t want to have to do it at a public event if we can help it.”
If they are able to get fifty riders that helps pay for the track rental but for them it’s not about breaking even or even making money, it’s simply about riding their dirt bikes with a bunch of their friends.
Everyone today had a great time and with just fifty riders you could pull onto the track anytime and not fear for your life.
