Alrighty... so I decided I'm going to race this 5 race motoross series that is coming up in a few weeks... Well, I haven't been on a track in over a year... I've been doing a lot of desert riding and some freeriding. Anyway, I still have confidence in my riding ability and I automatically think "oh, a few rides at the track and I'll be ready"... SHIT was I wrong... I think I went 2 good laps before I got tired and had to slow down before my arms fell off. I never thought I was THIS out of shape in my riding! It went like this for the next 3 hours: ride 2-3 laps, rest, ride 2-3 laps, rest... it was that bad. 1 moto is 5 laps, so i got a LONG way to go before I can do 5 HARD laps.

I practiced at a different track yesterday and did a LITTLE better... maybe 3 hard laps at one point... maybe. I think I need to adjust the suspension a bit more on my bike. The front end feels to unstable and rough... probably set up too stiff...

Anyway, besides my new commitment to getting back into racing, I've been doing absolutely nothing. I can't really party much because I don't want to drink or smoke while I'm trying to get back into shape... I COULD party without smoking, but drinking? no way you gotta drink with your friends... I don't care what anyone says, its half the fun, if not all of it!

Oh yeah, my band has been practicing (sort of) for a gig we are playing next Friday... should be interesting because I don't think we will ever be ready in time... we've ALWAYS been ready, but this time around no one seems to be into getting their shit down right... I'll let you know how it turns out...

thats all for now, back to work...

peace
