yup, great day indeed.
Now that i am USELESS at work today. Too bad I didn't have another day to take off.
I need a massage. I am in constant tuck mode. I KNOW everyone knows what I'm talking about!

My entire group went for a dirt excursion on the last session. the 4 of us decided we had enough pavement and wanted to try dirt. ha ha
No one went down (kudo's to all of us)...
I say this b\c, that's how much the day took out of us. We all just couldn't focus anymore. By the end of the day, it was time to get off the bike. We all didn't even attempt to finish the last session. We just came in telling out "Oh ****" stories.

Once again, Awesome day, can't wait to get out there again with everyone.

It's all relative. Craig was blowin by us like we were corner workers. Now to put it in perspective of how slow that makes us. Craig is an AMA backmarker and at times doesn't make the grid. Just imagine how fast Spies is. I am not putting down Craig by any means, Mearly making an AMA grid is a feat that the rest of will probably never be able to do. I tried to latch on and see what I could learn, but I could never hang long enough to see much of anything other than the dude is fast.


Back to the topic, Great day yesterday! My whole body was hurting on the ride home, but today I am ready to do it all again!

And yes thanks to Matt, for the help. And thanks to Dallas for the use of the motorhome and trailer. You rock!!!! Minus one incident on my part, all went well. "That is my bike fallen over in the trailer on the way up" But only minor damage.
I truly had a blast!!!! What a great time.
Alex, what improvement...

Yes what a great day. Thanks Mike for an awesome time on the track.

And the A group too. Don't think I have EVER been passed that much at the track. Was happy to help everyone with practicing their passing.

HUGE THANKS to Mike for setting this up. I had an absolute blast, and I'm definitely hurting today. Thanks also to Alex, Matt, Dave and Jeremy for comin up with me in the RV. It was nice to have the space and comforts of home and I couldn't have afforded to bring it without some others sharing the ride. I'm still bummed about Daves bike fallin over, but very thankful for the minor damage and not something more. Next time I'll figure out a way to set the trailer up better. Just gotta make it work for both bikes and cars, which is a challenge.

Another big thanks to the guys from Cali Photography. They got some awesome shots yesterday, and made it really easy for me to fork out the cash for a CD

Thanks Dave!

I am really happy with my strategy I had worked out in my head yesterday about how to attack the track.

The last run of the day was my fastest and I wouldn't have left the track if they hadnt made me.

I was faster than I've ever been and I still wasnt outside my comfort zone.

Matt and Diego helped out tremendously with pointers.
