Lets first start off with man it is a far drive. About 11 hrs of traveling for 80min of racing.

Drive was pretty uneventful until we got below the mountains and then the snow came. Not too bad but just enough to piss you off. Then the traffic jam on the 295 with some guy doing 25k in the right lane with his 4 ways on.

We decided to go early to the race on Saturday to help get Pierre all set to go but he was so hyped that he rode with someone else down to the race site. We all drove down a bit latter.

12cm of snow fell on Thursday. 6 degrees forecast for race day. What is going to happen. Mud and slush in the open and ice in the trees. How do you say crash fest.

First time this year that it is back to the age groups. I looked at the preredistered riders and MB is looking tough. I believe that Paul Greene is going to our ass followed by all of the other M1 riders in the field.

MA even has some S1 riders in their class.

Well I can't believe we only have 4 races left this season. It seems like we are just getting started.

Most of the races have been very exciting. The closest being the M1 cat. The top 5 are very close at all races and usually comes down to a sprint finish. Very cool to see as most other fields are very spread out.

There has also been lots of movement between Cats. Some have gone up and I don't know if anyone has moved down.

Well I can't believe I am going to say this but I wish the weather would change. The races so far are just too hot! I put a bottle cage on for Willow Beach after I had a near melt down at Valley Park. Drank the whole thing and felt much better.

I am also hoping for some mud. DUST SUCKS!
