Unfortunatly, after visiting the doc about 2 weeks ago, they told me they "forgot" to mention that a break like I have is a 8 week recovery, not a 3 week. It has been 5 weeks since the crash, and the doc says I will probably be all fixed up by the 6th week judging by the amount of milk I drink and how active I am. I was hoping to race August 31, but my parents said no (for my benifit..). So I will finally get back on the bike September 1st and get a little practice in.

First race of the year today! The track was almost perfect-- it rutted up nice but the ruts did get a little deep and were everywhere in some corners. I did okay, but definatly could have used more practice before this race-- an hour of practice the day before after 4 months off the bike (winter sucks!) isn't very much time to get yourself ready to race with kids that have been riding indoors all winter (maybe next year for me!). The highlight of the day was getting my first holeshot ever in the last moto of the day- I got passed a little later on, was doing good, came out of a turn, got cross-rutted and crashed. The crash was enough to break the clutch lever off the bike!! Oh well, that was my first DNF.. Live and learn. Over all a very fun day.

Winter is here, and the tracks are closed. Six inches of snow makes for hard riding... so out comes the snowboard! My hard working bike will get a couple months of rest, but I'm still training hard. Man, I wish I lived in Cali..
