Add in the 7000 ft elevation, and your HP goes down the drain.
I'm hurt bad enough @ 4,500'. I wanna go to Pismo.

edit: or that place on the coast of Oregon that starts with 'W' - Winchester Hill - I think? Looks REAL fun.

It's called Winchester Bay, and it is a fun place to ride. There is a combination of some pretty decent Hill Climbs and Trails. Over all, a good variety.

The Hill Climb that someone refered to earlier in this post is called Banshee Hill. there isn't a long approach area and half way up the climb you have to nagotiate a couple of trees. It just adds to the fun of it. The first time you do it, it kind of freaks you out, because if you stay in the throttle, your back end tends to move around (The sand is very loose). Once you have done it a few times, staying on the gas is no big deal, unless you have a lot of power and carry a lot of speed. Banshee Hill is basicaly just an area where the sand is running down the hillside through the trees, due to the effects of Gravity. When you are at the top, it kind of looks like a sink-hole, because all of the trees and everything just kind of lean in towards the top of the hill climb. It's fun, but you can only go one at a time, no side by side racing.
