    Nice day for a rip!

    Woot! It was balmy this afternoon, so I geared up and headed for the track. I was secretly hoping someone else had gotten down there with a chainsaw to clear the storm damage. As I turned the corner I was stoked to find a clear track and one guy out riding.

    I'm still not using the gravity cavity due to erosion, but I learned that the cutaway below the drop makes for a great lap! I blasted out 3 motos and rode home to the rising moon. SWEET little after work session... Gotta get em while I can.

    Nice! I cleaned the dirty bike after Sundays ride through hell... And got in 3 hours of tennis! I am so psyched with this weather

    I had no grip issues... but the quantity of rocks did a number on my back.

    Unfortunately, some of the worst sessions were near the end when I was tired... and standing was way too much effort.

    Yeah... tennis is no problem...

    it's just things that require a forward bend (sportbikes, standing on a dirt bike, golf)

    Oh well...

    Yeah, that's it. It links 5 nicely banked turns together and flows incredibly well!
