On Sunday I went with Adam to BUMP harescramble out near Busby. This 15km race was very organized with a concession stand, outhouses, and even a program! One of Adam’s co-workers came out to race as well. He has an old bike and raced in his work coveralls and managed to complete one lap before […]

Has a display of vintage bikes that looked really cool. Some I swear look like the ones you’d see in War movies in Europe. There were also Vespas, Motocross and regular Motorcycles. Here’s a pic of Adam on a limited edition KTM.
