SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY.

Day light savings time came 3 weeks early, and Forbis called me 7am which was really 6am.
5hrs of sleep atleast I ain't racing. Wo Ho me and Forbis were on traffic patrol at the 519 and I-45 intersection along with Texas Cities Finest. The things you do to ride your bike? The race was uneventful except for the leaders wereled the wrong way by a confused course marshal so they basically lost even though they really won. I saw Winkleman fly by twice and each time he had a huge lead, I'm not sure what place he ended up getting after the snafu.
The team was in full effect at breakdown after the race I've never seen so many volunteers, we had that thing broken down and loaded up in less than 30 minutes.
That's James, James and Henry hard at work.
That's Christine and (????) taking a breather. Once Russ was loaded up Forbis , Landeck, Freeze and me where off to The PMC. 5 acres of dirt shaped in the best way possible we put in an hour or more as we did laps and jacked around on the various jumps. Then they broke out the 70cc pit bike, that thing packs a lot of fun in such a small package. 3 speed no clutch and all fun. We hit the jumps and drifted the corners, and believe it or not one rider got hurt..
Thats me before Forbis throttled it into Freeze's Rush though.

Then Doc broke out the big boyz bike and showed us howzz its done. I know fo sure there was over 15 feet of air between him and the ground at some points.

I ended up getting home around 5pm with just enough time to take Nanook down to the Bayou. He finally got the nerve up to walk across the water, I think if I do this every Sunday he will eventually be swimming.
