2018 MI Sprint Enduro - ISDE Qualifier

Event: ISDE- East Qualifier

Event Date: April 28-29, 2018

Series: Michigan Sprint Enduro

Location: Battle Creek, MI

Results: LOI E2 Class =  9th /  10th    Overall =  20th / 21st

Track Conditions: Sand & dry = combination motocross/woods

Comments: This was my first time doing a race in the Michigan Sprint Enduro Series. The format was fun and I think this style of racing could help me in the Harescramble and Enduro series (pushing harder off the starting line). I look forward to competing in the Virginia Qualifier in a couple weeks.

Air Zoo Museum

We had a blast at the Air Zoo Museum in Kalamazoo, MI the day before the races. The Air Zoo is an aviation museum and indoor amusement park. It exhibited many historical and rare aircrafts, flight simulators, rides and information pertaining to aviation. A neat place to check out. After the simulator experience I decided I better stick to two wheels!

Series: District 16

Location: Roselawn, IN

Results: AA Class = 5th    Overall = 5th

Track Conditions: Comfortable temperatures and perfect trail condidtions

Comments: First local enduro of the season. Since I registered the day of the race I didn’t get my first choice of row numbers- ended up on minute 52 which was a little rough! Had lots of fun and the club did an awesome job of laying out the trail.

2018 NEPG National Enduro - Round #3 Lynnville, IN

Event: National Enduro

Event Date: April 15, 2018

Series: NEPG

Location: Lynnville, IN

Results:   AA Class =  8th    Overall =  34th

Track Conditions: Wet and muddy

Comments: The Red Fox National Enduro was a muddy race. Besides the mud I had a few small setbacks throughout the day (got a wire tangled in my rear wheel and had some minor mental errors). I still had a ton of fun! I returned home to 29+ inches of snow on the ground which made clean up hard (had to wash everything at the local car wash).

2018 NEPG National Enduro - Round #1 Wedgefield, SC

Event: National Enduro

Event Date: February 4, 2018

Series: NEPG

Location: Wedgefield, SC

Results:   AA Class = 17th    Overall = 57th

Track Conditions: Rained most of the day. The sand started to rut up.

Comments: The first round of the National Enduro series is in the books and it was a little rough on me. I struggled with arm pump early on and then ended up having a pretty bad crash in test 2. I was able to get my head back into it but just couldn’t get going like I wanted to. Felt good to get back on my bike after being unable to ride for so long (winter in Wisconsin). I know what I need to work on and I will be ready for Louisiana.
