The Day before 100's we had a Pro Rider Ride-A-Long. Here is a little bit on how it went!

This last weekend was the final race of the 2011 National Hare and Hound Series.  I pretty much had the #4 spot locked up, and short of Destry DNFing and me winning there was no way I could move up in the points standings.  For me, this weekend was about proving that I could win one of these races, and that was my plan… well until I broke my foot.

Two weeks earlier I had broke my foot at the So Cal MC National (where I finished 4^th overall). I spent a lot of time working with Jason, my trainer, to make sure that I stayed in good physical shape, while avoiding causing any further physical harm to my foot. I decided to just take it easy, and wait until 100’s weekend to actually get back on a bike.

Saturday we did another Pro Rider Ride-A-Long, and we had about 30 kids for this year’s ride! It was pretty cool to see Lacy (probably my biggest little fan) riding with me with matching graphics (we gave her a set for her CRF50 for her birthday!) We rode for a good 45 minutes or so and got to play around doing some jumps and things. Kurt was there, even though he wasn’t racing the final round, and it was cool for me to just go on a play ride with him, instead of racing with all of the stress involved.

We had fun with the kids but once it was done and we had taken the group photo, it was all down to business, and that started with a little surprise for another one of my supporters… Read below to find out just exactly what we did!
