Fall riding is cool

What an awesome Fall Sunday we had here in Illinois. The weather was awesome with highs in the 70's and sunny. Took the little one for his riding class early this morning, helped a bit with the kids and worried as a dad. Well, this is MX, and the more he falls, the better he is. He did super good today though, made me very proud. Brad took them on the mini-track and T managed the up and down hills and all the obstacles. Some crying of course, but hey, at 5, it still happens a lot Cool

We had a second school around noon, more kids, but mostly 85's. This was fun. We gave them a lot of fun stuff like riding with 1 hand only, riding with both legs on left side, then right side, lots of balance exercices. The boys were tired but had big smiles on their faces when they left.

So we hit the track at 3 pm. Wow, the track was hard, lots of ruts, soft sand, muddy patches and those rough corners with sand berm like Brad loves making them. Man, he makes the track as hard as possible, I bitch like hell during riding, I feel like I have had my arms chopped off after 2 laps and, at the end of the day, when you have loaded the bikes back on the truck, when you changed back to clean clothes and opened a freezing cold Gatorade, then you know that you had a blast. It was rough, tough, fun, super cool and you leave the track, happy with your riding, with your day and for spending great moments with friends.

Motocross forever Baby!! Cool

Weather prediction don't look too cool for us next weekend. They talk of low 40's maybe light snow or sleet. Sheesh!!! I guess we are going to try to pack as much riding as possible during the week.

Photos soon.
