Leaving for my second race week-end

Jetbdude · 05-15-2008, 01:10 PM

Leaving at around 3:30 this afternoon for my second race week-end. Same track, different configuration. We'll run the long track this week-end, with a loooooooooong straigh, a la Grattan. Should be fun, the weather is looking so so, but better than 2 weeks ago. I wish I had those spare wheel already

Shake and bake!

Jetbdude · 05-15-2008, 01:13 PM

Oups, forgot to update my back issue. I've seen my doc last week. He does not see any problem with me riding the bike. He gave me some exercise to do before and after every session, as well as some supplement and other exercise at the gym. I've been training everyday since last race week-end. We'll see if it pays off. I need to quit riding like I have a freaking stick up my a$$ and get back to my old riding position....

Hey, great news about your back! It's nice to find out you don't need to have surgery. Good luck on your race weekend.

RedRider · 05-15-2008, 01:36 PM

Good luck, E! Put it on top of the box!

ND4SPD · 05-15-2008, 02:08 PM

Git-r-done!

TornadoB8 · 05-15-2008, 02:54 PM

Good luck and don't suck.

Pretty good advise, thanks! I'll do my best.

Just race smart and pace yourself. A lot of these guys blow their whole game in 3 laps.

oh and Good Luck

ONEvcs · 05-15-2008, 03:49 PM

Good luck and a pill of patience for V!!! Don't forget to have fun, and breathe... breathe... breathe...

Oh, and your doctor is correct. You'll rarely have problems riding your bike. It usually is the way you stop riding it that's important.

CBR929RE · 05-15-2008, 03:56 PM

and no repeats of that stunna performance from last time.

NorthernRR · 05-15-2008, 04:29 PM

Good luck, I'll be teaching the what not to do course this weekend so I won't be able to attend...

I am however free on monday, maybe for a victory BBQ?

good luck.

SheepOfBlue · 05-15-2008, 04:32 PM

Good luck and remember to ask your opponent if they added rebound on the rear

CBRVFR · 05-15-2008, 06:01 PM

Best luck! Say hi to your lovely umbrella gal for me!

Hammer · 05-15-2008, 06:16 PM

Good luck buddy

Glad to hear it, on a bright note, there is someone behind you, that must be a good thing...

V is feeling better this morning. Not 100% but guetting there. We stopped in a hotel on our way back. she was not feeling well enough to drive 5 hours. Good thing it's a holiday here today. We have all our time.

nhfirefighter13 · 05-19-2008, 10:19 AM

Damn. I was kinda hoping she finally got the hang of that thing and would give me a run for my money behind the camera.

Hope ya feel better soon, Vero.

ND4SPD · 05-20-2008, 02:06 PM

It's Tuesday, in case you haven't noticed.

bwhip · 05-20-2008, 03:05 PM

Yeah, my race reports are usually complete by Monday night, not Tuesday. I guess I beat you in that race, eh?
