Had a great third day on the bike yesterday. Rode at Spyder MX in Wildwood, Florida and had a blast. Epic conditions made for a solid day of riding. I have a lot of work to do before the Full Gas Sprint Enduro Series starts in February.

FINALLY getting my health under control after battling Lyme disease since March. Got back on the bike Saturday and it felt so good to get some seat time. I missed my bike and riding, if my health continues to get better and I am able to get into race shape, I will be contending for the Vet A 30+ championship in the Full Gas Sprint Enduro Series.

Had a great session today at Spyder MX in Wildwood, FL. It was my first day back on the bike since being diagnosed with Lyme disease. I felt really good, but unfortunately extremely weak and was quick to be tired since I've been off the bike for so long.

The last few months have been pretty rough. I came down with Epstein Barr and turns out I was also dealing with Lyme Disease at the same time. On the plus side the EBV is out of my system but the Lyme is hanging on for dear life. I feel like I am on the upside of things and hopefully will resume training and riding again very soon.

My 3rd place overall with 3-2 scores gave me the edge to win the Full Gas Sprint Enduro Championship in the Vet B 30+ class. It was an up and down year with good and bad finishes as well as one sorta big injury. But I kept my head down and my eyes on the prize and won my first ever championship.

I had a very up and down weekend at the Hidden Valley MX Full Gas Sprint Enduro this weekend. I won a few tests but the conditions were not super favorable for me. Rain kept my times down but I sped up as the ground dried out throughout each day. 3-2 on weekend for 3rd overall.

Great day out at Spyder MX yesterday shaking down a new setup. Moved my bars forward on the triple clamp and ran a new bend of bar as well. Didn't like the new postition so I moved it back to stock and loved it. Haven't ridden since my crashes at the last Full Gas Sprint Enduro so it was good to knock the rust off.

I am finally all healed up from my dismal weekend at the last Full Gas Sprint Enduro. Time to get back to training and wrap up this championship next month!

My worst race weekend on the season. Some unexpected rain on Sunday really messed with me as I was leading the first two tests of the day, then proceded to crash my way into 4th by the end of the day. Monday was off to a decent start with a third on the first test. A really bad crash on the first endure test ended my day but I still managed to finish 7th overall on the weekend and extend my points lead.

Epic weekend of racing at the Full Gas Sprint Enduro this weekend. The conditions were dry and dusty but not too bad. I rode well and only made one big mistake all weekend, but solid riding helped me edge my competition both days. It’s been a long time since I went 1-1 on a weekend, so it feels really good to get that monkey off my back. Headed home now, excited to get back to training for the next race!

Had a good MTB session today. Ran some trails but mostly pavement today to kind of cool it a little for a Sunday. Praying all this training I’m doing will pay off at my race on the 11th.

I closed in points this past weekend, its time to ramp up the training and take this championship by storm. I went on a MTB ride today that was just over 12 miles. Its not a lot but its certainly a start.

Stopped in at Hidden Valley Golf for an MX session today to prep for the FGSE here in October. The track was in stellar shape and the weather was just as good. I rode well and got the track dialed in for when I come back for the race.

Another second place overall at this weekends Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro in Pennsylvania. I missed the win on Saturday by one second to a local who wasn’t a factor for points. I stayed consistent on Sunday and took second place comfortably. I made up 11 points on the points leader this weekend and am now only 12 points out of the championship lead. I’ll keep training my butt off to get that national championship I’ve always wanted.

Great weekend of Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro racing. I rode well on Saturday but small time consuming errors took me out of contention for the win. I finished fourth on the day. Sunday I started out with a win and continued that trend for the rest of the day. I won Sunday and finished the weekend second overall.

Great day out at Spyder MX. The track was smooth and wet in the morning which set up for a rough track later on in the day. Needless to say the conditions were just perfect. I was breaking in a set of new radiators and Acerbis hand guards and all went well. I'm loosened up and ready to go for next weekends Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro!

Tough weekend at the Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro this past weekend. The rain made for incredibly muddy conditions on Saturday. I made a ton of mistakes and lost a lot of time to the leaders. I ended up 4th overall on the day which left me with a lot of work to do on Sunday. Sunday started better with an almost good run on the cross test but my struggles continued on the enduro test. I made some changes to the bike which was a huge improvement. I won the last two cross tests of the day on Sunday and had 2 solid finishes on the enduro tests. I made up enough time to secure 3rd place for Sunday and 3rd overall on the weekend.

Race report from the Harleywood Kenda Full Gas Sprint Enduro:
As a Florida boy I don't do well with cold, but I stayed competitive and won the day on saturday by way to close of a margin. Sunday I struggled with suspension setup and traction as the soil dried out on the grass track and got rougher on the enduro test. I sorted everything out and unfortunately was too late and lost the overall by less than 15 seconds. All in all it was a decent weeknd for me and I'm still tied for points after 2 rounds of the championship.
