AMA Dist.17 Enduro Geneseo, IL

We head out to Geneseo, IL for an enduro the last two weekend I was dealt with bad luck so this weekend goal was to start and finish with out any problems. the first test was fast and open I struggled a little to find the speed I needed to be at. the next 2 test where the most technical tests of the race and I was riding right with Jay and had good test. the 4th test I made a little mistake on a hill the cost me around 30-45 sec in this race with the test so short second it the different in placings. we came in to gas with a lot of time to recover and get ready for the last test. Half way through the last test I got lost do to the course not arrowed well which cost me enough time to drop me a few spot and got beat by the guy I am battling with in the point standings. I took 8th on the day out of 20 riders in my class which is a good day compared to my last 2 races. I would like to thank Jay for mounting my tires with mousse insert so flat tires would not happen again. I would also like to thank everyone who keeps T.C.R. going

     

AMA Nait. Enduro Park Hills, MO

We made the 5 hr drive down to Park Hills for the enduro. The race went from anything but planed there was a 3 mile transfer section before the start of the race by the time I got to the start of the test I got a front flat. I had to end up riding the first 3 test on a flat since that was the next time I would to my support team. I got to gas and put a new front tire on and was ready to make up some time that I lost half way through the 4th test I was pushing and the front end went out from under me and ended up going down hard I got back up and was trying to push and my front end just seamed to be pushing I pulled over to check see if everything was ok I found I have gotten an other flat front tire. I ended up finishing the day in 20th I rode a 44mile race 40mi of it on a flat. The last 2 races have given me some bad luck but that's racing time to regroup and come out fighting harder. I would like to thank Halls Cycles for getting my bike ready for this race from what I destroyed the weekend before.
