I'm going to run the harescramble in Monticello, MN tomorrow. Anything I should look out for? What tools would you recommend taking along? Any other words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Although I haven't had to chance to ride one, common sense states:
1. Check everything on your bike
2. Bring extra Gas, plug and oil
3. Spare tire or repair kit
4. High energy snacks 1/4 pounder may be acceptable
5. Get lots of rest tonight
6. This is the most important RELAX while your out there and ride to you limits.
7. Bring yourself and quad home in one piece.

Good luck

Ask the promoter what the narrowest part of the trail is. The one I went to told us we would be fine. WRONG. Way too narrow for the DS. We tore up all kinds of stuff. Plus when you wedge it between two trees and there are pro riders waiting, it's not good. Just relax. Stretch a bunch, including arms and wrists. Tell yourself constantly not to death grip the bars and hydrate a bunch.
