I’ve been a terrible blogger lately. To be honest, I hope that I still have an audience! Funny enough, the last couple of weeks have been very busy, and I’ve still had the chance to ride my bikes. I even have pictures and videos to prove it!
My only excuse has been time; the lack of it and my inability to include this blog into time left over. So here is my Shorty version of what you’ve missed.
Last week I went on a moto ride with a few friends and a few others that I hadn’t ridden with before. It was my first time down at Lawrence County Recreation Park, and I didn’t know what to expect. After the “Man Trip 2009,” I had thought that nothing could be as fun as that trip. Slightly overconfident, I was mumbling on the car ride down to Bloomington (about one hour from Indianapolis), the mumbling was something like this … “I’m glad I cut my teeth in the mountains. I can’t imagine the riding down here being near as difficult!”
I was wrong, and I ate my words. It was tough, rainy, slick, muddy and fun. Here are Facebook links to my videos from the trip:
As I’m typing, I am sitting in the Atlanta airport. I’m on my way to St. Petersburg for the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. It’s the first race of the IndyCar Series season, and I’m excited. The last two years, my wife has gone down to this event, and my son is making his second trip, as well.
Now that the little guy is an animal, I didn’t exactly know how he would react on the plane. It could have been assumed that he wouldn’t like to be contained in a row of two seats. At 6 in the morning, I could have only imagined what the other passengers were thinking. I know that I couldn’t have taken it if it wasn’t my kid. Lucky for all of us, he fell asleep when we took off! So here we are, on our journey to Tampa, en route to St. Pete.
Be sure to check out all the action this weekend on indycar.com!!
