Loonatic: when keeping it real goes wrong.

Devils Racetrack

A couple weeks ago, we did a day hike up Devils Racetrack in Campbell County. The trail is right along I75 and its large rock formations are easily visible from the interstate. The hike was about 3 miles total and I think the boys enjoyed themselves well playing and enjoying the outdoors.

I had to take trip to England for work and took advantage of a few days off to travel to Scotland. I took the train from Newcastle to Edinburgh and stayed the night in a hostel. I toured Edinburgh Castle and hiked Arthur’s Seat.

Going Big

A good day at The Farm in Strawberry Plains. Got the nerve up to hit the big table. Corey said he thought it was 110 ft. I can’t image it is that far as I don’t think I could jump that far. But regardless, it was a long way!

Got some old plastic from Jay and bought a compression tester from Sears. Compression was 210psi which is perfect.

Mid East Hare Scramble — Round 1 @ Palmetto MX

Not a good race for me, but I did love the track. I got into a wreck in the first turn that broke my rear fender off and twisted my bars. It took forever to get restarted. I fought back through the pack and gained back up to 4th in my class or so I thought. The live timing was way off. I never made it farther than 7th and finished 8th out of 19, I think. I had to stop twice for fuel and even with all that drama of the wreck I still finished 96 out of 335. I would have liked to be around the 50 mark, but I need to continue to work on my endurance. I faded pretty bad towards the end.

Geritt and I did some practice on Saturday trying to get used to the sand and find a comfortable pace. It was way too easy to go too fast and blow up. This video is of our “race” pace, which was too fun. I’d rather go faster but just can’t for 2+ hrs. This practice session was right after the stupids quads ran and you can see all the double ruts that gave up fits.
