We have had a break planned in our racing for July and August from the start of this adventure. Scott was anticipating that time to devote to his new family, and I was planning to use the time to do some cycling pieces that I have been looking forward to.
On Monday, Liz and I [...]

Back on the bike this past weekend. It had been way too long since my last outing so it took me a while to feel good and not like I was riding over my head. About the time I started feeling better I noticed how many little mistakes I make. Had I been on the [...]

I think that 6/21 is the summer solstice. That would be the day that our part of the planet, in the northern hemisphere, is tilted closest to the sun. That would make it the longest daylight day of the year.
OMG. I don’t think I can handle the meaning of that. That means that the daylight [...]

When I described the injury, lifting my motorcycle up over something and [...]

Today was the National Enduro up in Marquette. It was pretty sweet. Weather was perfect, and the crowd was just about the right size.
I have good news and I have bad news. Let’s start with the good news.
I woke up this morning, and found it was freezing. It is June, but [...]

So all week was more rain at home. I mean it rained. It rained and rained and would not stop raining. This was a rain to stop the clocks. Houses floated down rivers, complete roads washed away, bridges were out…it is crazy. Even the interstate was closed due to flooding. As usual, events like that [...]

This has been an eventful week. Not much in the way of motorcycles, but an eventful week nonetheless.
For those of you out there who are my age, you know what I am talking about with high school graduation. If you do not have kids, or if your kids are little, let me fill you in. [...]

This past Saturday was a local D16 HS race up in Crandon Wi. Yes, that would be THE Crandon, where the offroad truck race track is. Wow. What a trip.
If you read the previous post, you know that Scott and I did not do the Sparta GNCC race and that we ventured [...]

Joe and I have driven past Crandon several times during our summers racing D16 hare scrambles but this past Saturday was the first time we have raced there. Crandon is known for its huge off-road truck and buggy race track – not for its MX or HS courses. There is a huge MX track in [...]
