My Racing Friends

This weekend is the San Francisco Supercross.  I hope the weather is better than last year.  We were seating in the bleachers last year and got soaked even with our rain slickers on.

I just moved up from beginner to Novice rider.  I started racing last year in March.  I am riding in the 65 9-11, 65 Open, and the 85 7-11 classes.  I am chasing the fast riders trying to get faster.  I am doing well in the 65 Open but having some difficulty in the 9-11 class.  I am riding against some of the fastest riders around but I am catching up to them a little at a time. 


In the 85 7-11 class, the first race in the series I had mechanical problems and had to pull out.  The second race I took 5th place.  The third race in the series I had mechanical difficulty again, my bike died on me and would not start, I finally got it started and placed 11th.


The next race in the series is at Madera Fairgrounds, I have never raced there before so I am looking forward to it.  Hopefully, I will be able to do better and move up a little in the placings.  Of course, I am going to push for first place.
