It\u2019s looking like that 1-point day in Roswell wasn\u2019t a fluke.   I have to say I was pretty thrilled with it.  I didn\u2019t take any pictures the whole weekend.  I\u2019ll have to steal some of Geneva\u2019s pictures.  Okay, not quite true I took one picture, of the scoreboard.   Can you blame me for that?  I\u2019m really glad Geneva takes such great photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I only got a 7 at this round!  3 of those points was because I almost rode through the wrong gate!  I saved it but had to take a 3 for the section in order to bounce my bike back onto the correct path of travel.  I could have had a ride off with Jim for first if I paid attention to what I was doing.  Drat!  Not bad considering I hadn\u2019t been on the bike since Roswell.   It\u2019s looking like I\u2019ll show up for December\u2019s event not having ridden since Nov!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I showed up pretty early on Sat.  I just couldn\u2019t get it together to head down there on Friday, had to stay at work way to long.   I need to make sure I take a shovel with me.  I think it would be easier to dig the trailer level instead of the blocks.  I also need to do some more work on the trailer.  I ended up with a flat tire a couple of weekends later.  I\u2019ll bet it was all the issues I had trying to get the stupid thing parked and level.   At least it was fully winterized for the Nov event.  I don\u2019t really mind dry camping as long as I have heat.   Wonder what the Dec weather will be like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was good to ride around to find all the sections, I walked all them. By the time I was back to the trailer Geneva had showed up. So back out to ride the loop and walk the sections again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m very happy that I didn\u2019t take part in the whisky that was being passed around on Saturday evening. There were a few riders looking not so well on Sunday morning, they were thankful for the extra hour we got during the time switch that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did get Geneva and I lost on the way out to the section we scored in the afternoon.  That meant riding up and down some things that neither of us was happy about.  I am really horrible about getting lost at these events.  I can\u2019t tell if it\u2019s the bad directions I get from people or me.  Okay.  It\u2019s likely it\u2019s me.  I just don\u2019t know all the areas out there yet.  Geneva had an interesting time with the ride over.  She did better on it than I did.  The first time I rode it I smack my left elbow so hard that it was sore for three weeks.  She just had to hold the bike until I could get the front wheel lined up in the correct direction.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a great section for scoring, it looked horrible, but rode really nicely once everyone got past their brains screaming NO at them.  Lol. I really should have had my phone for that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really need to get things around the house settled down, so I can find the time to ride a bit more.  I\u2019ve ignored things around the house for too long and now I really can\u2019t put things off anymore.   Maintenance, it\u2019s not just for the bikes.  I am really loving the new sink and faucet.  Water leaks are motivating for changes to be done.  I can\u2019t get over how much bigger the new one looks compared to the old one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
