    The Awesome Players once again had a team entered the first big event of the year, The Classique. Over 400 bikes in teams of ten would tackle a multitude of routes from scenic to super gnarly. We had a varied group. Ivan on the KTM690 Enduro with Basil Rally Kit. Jason and Jean-Luc on KTM 500EXCs. JP on the Yamaha WR250. On Hondas we had Marc on the big Africa Twin 1000 and Gilles on the CRF250L. The teutonic clan was made up of Chris on the BMW HP2 and Super Dave on the F800GS. Last and certainly least was Riley on the super sexy Husqvarna 701 Enduro. Riley writes the UA-cam descriptions... We had some unnecessary water crossings, mud, dust, flat tires, bugs, a lot of beautiful trails and at the end some rain and cold . Everything needed to make for a memorable day of riding with friends. Enjoy.

    My AT does that too. They've got some sort of crash sensor or something in there that prevents starting after a fall. After a few minutes you'll be fine.

      The sensor itself is located under the dash display if you ever need to replace it, I only know that because I forgot to plug it back in after doing a bunch of work in there and had to go digging for it

    • @AwesomePlayers
      @AwesomePlayers  4 роки тому +1

      Here the managed trails are still closed. Riding seems to be allowed buy straying from home is frowned upon. A lot of people will be going back to work over the next few weeks. Hopefully riding in the woods with a helmet on will be seen as a low risk soon.

    Hey Riley, I think I have have a question. I lack some of the decades of life-experience that you have. I have enjoyed a good amount of the APOMC-Videos over the years. And I wonder for a while now, if you have always had an easy of a time, getting up as early as you do on these group rides. I'm afraid I'm not quite there yet and I don't know if the is any hope for me

    • @AwesomePlayers
      @AwesomePlayers  3 роки тому

      Getting up sucks. I can't count the number of times I have wanted to text the boys that I am not going and just pull the blankets over my head. But then once you hit the road it all seems worth it.

    re: camera clocks - I would expect that to continue to get easier as GPS gets more common on cameras. GPS carries with it extremely accurate timekeeping (but whether the cameras make use of it, who knows)

      A few years ago we were all lined up for the Classique waiting for the start. Off in the distance we heard the sound of a starter motor really geting a workout. We all looked at each other and shouted "DR". Sure enough about 100 yards away a Mighty DR was struggling to come to life.
