<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI finally made it to Bull Hollow Raceway about 10:45, talk about a long day. Geneva had a spot saved for me so I just had to get the trailer level. That was a bit interesting, I really need to remember to choke the wheels better when on a slope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next day I\u2019m not sure why but Geneva decided we had to be up early. I tried to sleep in some, but then Glen showed up. No more trying to sleep. Sable decided it was time to go see everyone. I checked in with a few people, went to registration to get my transponder and stickers for the weekend. It was good to see a number of people for the first time in a while. It\u2019ll be really nice once things are fully opened up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We did our practice lap in the afternoon, it was downright HOT. I really liked the loop. I was a bit worried about the dehydration that I\u2019d had the weekend before, but I didn\u2019t have any issues. Yea! I did have a couple of small tip overs, again like usual, because I can\u2019t touch the ground when I really need to. I had trouble on the second one as the wheels were uphill from the rest of the bike. I\u2019m still not back to full strength yet, even with trying to drag it around I couldn\u2019t get it picked up without help. It took help awhile to show up too. I wasn\u2019t worried about that section for the next day as I knew I\u2019d be able to keep up the speed I needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that we all hung out in the pits, doing the usual BS, just trying to stay cool.\u00a0 So you could say we just had a bunch of fun.\u00a0 At least, we got to sleep earlier that night, since we had to be up for the rider\u2019s meeting at 8:30, with a start at 9am.\u00a0 At least, that meant cooler temps for the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n I didn\u2019t count, but there seemed like a fair number of women on the line again. I know there was more than the 11 that finished the race. I finished 9th<\/sup>, I only did one lap, as my knee was just too tired. I was struggling with going between sitting and standing. So I figured I\u2019d rather finish on a high. I could have gone back out for a second lap since there was just over 20 min left on the timer when I came through the timing chute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I was back before everyone else, so I had time to relax, change and get things ready to go for the trip home.\u00a0 I packed slowly, since I wanted to hang out until Glen and Michelle made it back in from their rides.\u00a0 I know that Glen feels like he really should have been out there with the rest of us.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Michelle is just amazing; she is the true iron butt rider.\u00a0 She did great in her class. \u00a0The drive back was quiet and smooth.\u00a0 I was a bit worried about one of the tires, it had been running hot the drive up.\u00a0 I made it home without it blowing, but I should have followed up on my gut feeling of replacing before having to do the next weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the trials event I had to get ready for the Webe Race and the inspection we were having at […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dirt-bikes","category-racing"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2842"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2845,"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2842\/revisions\/2845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/ACtC-3dERUP-KPk7djJrYox1iG3eXEJXc_oCOTWbzJGPnz90IbaMZLIszC3ByxlH8HifcF4JfFmVWkS3PuEMoVnHjMr_JZUoruIjXDvANmyQlCzwfsG0Hc0quCZe-0oGtMJwQiEp0k5E4PTicqPmoIlTBFaiJA=w1250-h937-no?authuser=0\")
