Left Thursday night for SC. Snow for 600 miles all the way through west virginia. Never saw snow this far south. Started caughing and hacking as we left michigan. Made it to a wal mart 50 miles into WV and stopped for the night. Didn't have enough blankets on the bed and froze our azzes off all night. Woke up with one of the nastiest colds I have had in years, full treatment-aching muscles, coughing, stuffed up-a real beauty. We pressed on to Carolina Adventure world-greeted with decent weather and sunshine. I fell asleep at 6:30 PM, I was spent. Woke up Sat morning early and watched the sun rise and the temps climb slowly-when it hit 40 I unloaded the new 250 XC and decided to uncharacteristically do some MX laps as I expected the tails would be kwad tard heaven. (I saw a side by side with a cooler on the back and decided to stay away from those guys!) Busted out laps on he MX track which was freshly bladed and hard as asphalt. Hit a up hill step up, a small table top and a double and was getting too brave so I shut it down and went to the power wash. guy on a kwad rolls up and (I am not lying!) wanted to know if the mud bog was open, also complemented me on my fine motorcicle! I told him I know nothing about this place and thank you, I enjoy my new bike. :nod: Loaded up and left for the sandlapper. Got there as it was about 65 degrees and very sunny. Contacted Mapes and Buchers and and advised of my location. Got signed up-row 16, everything prepped. As they arrived I advised them that Atlana SX was airing in the RV that night. Had a packed house of friends watching the SX. Too bad 'poto packed it.
Sunday morning was greeted with sunshine and a chill in the air. I felt like crap as usual but decided that the race was split into 3 loops all back at the start and I'd ride each one until I just couldn't anymore. Well it stated off fun and I kept myself well hydrated with super racer hammer nutrition stuff all day and survived the entire run. It was a fantastic course, very fun and I just loved the new 250 XC, it is really sweet and it RIPS!! I wasn't able to do my best but still ended up 5th in my class. Paid to 4th so I split for FLA! Got into Fla about 10:0 PM set up and went to bed.
It's a beautiful Monday morning just south of Daytona Beach but the weather isn't expected to get very warm all week. Still have a cold but at least I can feel crappy in decent weather and enjoy the sights. To be continued....
