9-21-24 Wambaw OHV South: YZ250 Woods Beast becomes a Woods MONSTER with MX14 Rear Tire.

Fastest pace EVER on Wambaw South trail. Saturday meant 2nd fastest total time, since I had to pass four riders and decided to stay behind the fifth rider. That's why I ride during the week for fast times! :-)
Dunlop Geomax MX14 is a total game-changer and utterly transformed the woods beast into a woods monster!
"VISUALIZATION" If you can't make it out to the Wambaw Cycle Trail in person, here is a video of the entire South Loop to prime your brain for your next ride. Watch it before you go and you just might be amazed by how much faster you ride. Enjoy! :-)
The Wambaw Cycle Trail OHV is in the Francis Marion National Forest. $5 a day or $50 a year to ride. The $50 annual pass also allows you to ride three different trail systems in the Sumter National Forest. Buy your day pass at the gate or an annual pass at the ranger station or on Recreation.gov at www.recreation...
** Gauges added by using GARMIN VIRB Edit software, a free video editor from Garmin that works with any video, any GPS that can provide FIT files, and any heart rate monitor **
I record these videos to enable me to visualize the ride. Visualization is an excellent tool to train your body when you can't actually perform a physical event. Used as a training tool by Olympic and professional athletes for decades, watching an activity can be a tremendous enhancement to actual practice.

Fastest PACE ever. 2nd fastest lap ever due to having to pass 4 riders and voluntarily staying behind the last guy I caught. I would have passed him if I knew how fast this run was. 😂
