Banquet 2012

District 16 Enduro Series Awards
District 16 Harescramble Series Awards
 What a great year! I finished the state champion in both the District 16 Enduro and Harescramble series. I had an amazing year and ended the season healthy and ready for next season.  The banquet was held at the Kalahri in Wisconsin Dells and we enjoyed time at the water park.  I look forward to the future because I have big plans for the new season.

Turkey Creek Enduro

November 4, 2012

Well the season is in the books for 2012.  We just had our last race of the year for our local series and I am dreading the cold that winter will bring us in Wisconsin. Not only fearing the snow and bitter cold but fearing not being able to ride my dirt bike around home until spring. Enough talk about winter, our last race was in New Paris, IN. The weather was a bit cold but the trail was awesome and you couldn't ask for a better race to end the year on. My day didn't start out as planed. Near the end of the first test we were headed to another woods section across a bean field. I entered the woods and we had to go over a rock pile I went to lay the bike over for the turn and my chain derailed. That killed me on my time since the race was ran at 30 mph speed average. It didn't take that long to get it back on but to long to have a good first test. That was pretty much the way the rest of my day went. I had a lot of trouble with lappers either falling in the worst possible spots or not moving over for me when I caught them. I had one good get off in the third test which probably cost me some time too. Even with all the trouble I still had a fun day ridding. My results were not what I was looking for but it just makes me want to train and improve more to be better and more prepared for the next race. Races like this make you learn what you need to work on and motivate you to do better.
