Tried motocross for the first time in 20 years as warm up before the off-road schedule starts. 1st place both motos on the pro track! Still got it.

Last weekend's race was brutally long. I quit at roughly the 5hr mark after breaking my clutch cover. Still had 1/4 of the race to go. I finished 12/22 in intermediate even though I did not complete the entire loop (was running roughly 5th when the cover broke). My team also entered the night race, but I was a DNS with a broken clutch cover. They went on to an excellent finish without me - 2nd place!

Tough race! It was divided into two loops. After the first loop, I was inside the top three and may even have been in first. Two crashes and some bike troubles in the second loop ended my chance for a good finish. Disappointing, but I've got the speed to hang near the front. I will finish better next time.

CMA round #1 tomorrow. My leg is 90% recovered, so I'm expecting good results!
Jul 4 2015
First day back racing. Still have a weak/bruised leg, but I showed up to score some points and stay in the championship hunt. Not my best ride, but I accomplished my goal for the day. Hopefully I'll be 100% by next weekend and able to battle for a win.

The news is bad but the timing is good. I've developed a massive hematoma after a crash last weekend. My physician says no riding until the swelling goes down as I'm at risk of a rupture it. On the positive side, there's no racing scheduled until July 4th. Fingers crossed I won't lose any points. Currently sitting 3rd overall and only 14pts out of 1st!

The Corner Grass Harescramble/Endurocross didn't go quite as well as I hoped. The heat was brutal and I was feeling the effects in Moto 1. Moto 2 went much better, but my 6-3 results only garnered 5th overall.

Getting ready for this weekend's harescramble/endurocross race. Should be a unique event!

Just got my new plastic and custom graphics from Decalworks. Time to replace the beat-up, worn and cracked stuff I've got now with something shiny and new!

Holeshot video now uploaded.

What a race! Ripped the holeshot, got a pretty good lead only to have a rather unpleasant tip-over. Well over 100KMS and nearly 4 hours in tight singletrack. I'm still pretty happy with my 3rd place overall, but I could smell victory...

Since yesterday's race was cancelled I went out for some endurocross practice with a friend. Check out some video footage HERE (including some good spills!).

Waiting to get my fork and shock back from the tuner. In the interim I've been mountain biking almost every day after work to get ready for race season.
