This was a tough one.  I had been looking forward to the weekend.  I like being in the Jemez mountains, it’s cooler, there are great views of the stars and the milky way at night, best part there isn’t any cell reception!!! 

The sections were really tough.  So much so, I didn’t ride more than 3 sections on Sat.  I just went back and turned in my card after 5’ing two of the three sections.  I just wasn’t up to it, and I didn’t want to get hurt.  The next day was even harder, so I went back down to Beg.  At least it was fun, I still didn’t do so great.  I really hope that I figure out how to ride that trials bike sometime soon.   Most of the sections I just put a foot down because I think I might need to do so.  That is what riding a dirt bike that is too tall has taught me. I just struggle with it, that and giving up since I’d already got a point, might as well just put my foot down again… 

I need to get more pictures at these events. 

I’m finally figuring out what I need to do so that I’m calmer for the day.  I struggle with being too wound up for the first lap, after that I do great.    I’m sure there is some brain trick I could find on how to make it go smoother.
