Halloween/Locals

Friday started out nice, dug in Walt's backyard for a bit trying to get his trails going. Got a little bit of riding done, those things are gonna be technical. After that Josh and I headed to Maggie's house to get ready for Halloween night. We played Wii bowling for a couple hours while the girls got ready and whatnot. We headed to Robert's to hang out for a while and then headed to a dance party at Mathew's. Maggie, Josh, Sarah and I headed home pretty early, I think about 1am or so. A very fun Halloween this year.

Saturday morning Josh and I woke up and headed to Oak Mtn. about 11 so that I could give Dale Duke his first lesson. He did pretty well and I look forward to working with him in the future and having him on the team. After practice started we were able to talk about 6 people into racing an open with us. Motos were no big deal, just havin fun. Main came and Josh, Brantley and myself were lined up next to eachother, I think Brantley got to the first turn first by a tire but Josh went under him and I highlowed and came around both of them at mach10. Josh pushed me to the inside of the track so I came into turn 2 wayyyyy too low and wayyyyyy too fast, I thought I was pushing Josh up with me, but he brake checked and highlowed under me. I was at a dead stop at the top of the turn so I didn't have the momentum to go real fast. I did the best I could to catch Josh but just didn't have the mmmph after that 2nd turn. It made for an exciting race tho.
After the race me and Josh met Mags at 2pesos for some much needed mexican food. It was delectable. That night we hung out at Roberts for a bit, then came back to Maggie's and just sat around with a few friends and talked for a while.

Sunday, Josh and I chose to go to Prattville for another local instead of Tuscaloosa for the cross race. That turned out to be a bad choice because my shoulder was killing me after working out earlier this week and riding for a couple days. And the gate broke during practice, I flipped it and bruised my hip. When race time came we were doing flag starts, haha, BOGUS. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do I guess.. haha. We had another small open and in the main I went under Josh in the first turn... slid out in the second turn, I put my foot down and my chain came off, I raced the rest of the race just pumping. Josh, Billy and I all had a good time I suppose so no big deal.
We had been craving CiCi's pizza since like 10 that morning so we stopped there and gourged for like an hour or so before heading home. I was worn out when I made it back and passed out about 9 oclock. A very long eventful weekend.

Now I've got to rest up for a few days and hope my shoulder gets better so I can get back in the gym and riding my bike again by Wednesday.
