Back to Racing!!
Well, I've started back trying to compete in the Vet A class with the rest of the VA Championship Hare Scrambles Series. It seems Mother Nature has decided we should all be better mud riders and she is doing her best to provide more mud than any of us could ever want. We are four races into the season and I can finally say I'm feeling better riding. I had to drop out the second race when I couldn't keep my head focused enough to stay safe on the course. I was very disappointed as this was the first race I have ever quit. Now, at the fourth race I couldn't go out for the last lap. I had a tumor removed from my right hand and it swelled up. I was unable to use my thumb at all and couldn't hold on in the muddy, rutted up conditions. I am really not happy to say now I have two races I didn't complete by quiting. I hope to continue to improve as I am starting to have more fun. I was able to hit a groove on Sunday and enjoy some of the trail. I'm looking forward to competing in the class and I am now listed a sixth in the points.
