Just a shout out to the father and son (and anyone else involved) who as of lately have been prepping ADVMX, track is on point! The dirt is a perfect mixture w sand and stays moist the whole evening (been going on wednesday evenings) with plenty of good lines, good ruts and smooth lines if you prefer, lots of loam and a good layout. Been riding right when they open till closing and my bike is still clean, hence the perfect dirt, no mud, no dust, good traction. Yeah I just moved here from Cali (sorry TX) and rode Zaca a lot, no offense Zaca, but this dirt is better! Talked to a bunch of the local riders there and they all said its been really good lately. Good times-thank you ADV!

Spoaks is going to be fun this weekend, here's part of what I was up to:
Stake driving and tree cutting is a bitch in this heat.
I went by ADV on the way home, it is the nicest I have seen it:
Murphy's and ADV both have smaller sharper bumps - but adv also has relatively sharp faces and mild landings - so it's hard to dial in perfectly. You get either good bump absorption or good landing hold up but hard to get both nailed.
Cycle has the more rounded shape bump - even if larger they just aren't as harsh...and with the lack of traction comparatively - you can't load the front as hard braking either.
Personally - adv for a night track is pretty impressive when put in that perspective - it's dirt in the summer is nearly impossible to keep water in but doesn't mean the grip isn't good once ruts form.
Murphy's just wont prep deep enough for my tastes and is too fast - but the land is nice and the shade and owners are awesome.
and cycle has its epic days - and is slowly coming back into it's form with the new owner (thank goodness for him)...but it can be a desert when hot out - that sand eats up stupid amounts of water!
