    Yahoo, did it

    So my track school experience is now behind me. Actually a bit of a letdown now that the weekend is over :^). The 2-day EB school was great, glad I never made the 1-day I had originally set up. Mornings were pretty cold, and my Ape does not like the cold, but all was good after she got warmed up. Had a good time making tons of mistakes, damn there's a lot of info to be absorbed. Many helpful folks around and all the instructors were tolerant of this newbie ;^). I plan to put up some short clips I got from the front of my bike & will post links when I do.

    Nice! Never tried the two day. The one day is great but very intensive. I assume you did it at TGP?
    Most of the people who live around Lake Champlain claim to have seen Champ over the years. These many reports do not prove Champ is a living lake monster. They do confirm that most people are liars.

    Well let's see if I get these in vid clips in correctly. The first is from 'braking' practice:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQH0QCkk9L4

    The second is from the mock race. I led my fellow students (HP + off line first, not necessarily skill), but the instructors passed me like I was sittin' still :^).
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za9_QdThU9M

    Constructive criticism always welcome ... :^).

    We all start somewhere.

    Looks pretty good and smooth. Speed comes with experience.
