Random Riding Observations

Apr 10, 2008 09:01

There's a rider I see in the results of races and practices who rides at a somewhat leisurely pace, and his name has stuck out in my mind, so sometimes when I see results I check his laptimes and compare mine to them. Dean rides a 600, a much more powerful bike than mine, but at Fontana I was a second slower than him on average. Compare that to last month's AFM race at Buttonwillow, where I was twelve to fourteen seconds slower than him. What gives?

Maybe it was because as I was cruising through Buttonwillow's Riverside, an extremely fast, long set of sweeping right hand turns, I was singing the Beatles song "Michelle" inside my head. I should probably focus on going fast instead of thinking about a cheerful, slow little song.
