The weekend off before Unadilla my girlfriend and I were at Brock Sellards house in Ohio. It rained a lot so Brock, Pingree and I hung out around the house and rode when we could. We didn't do anything really exciting. I am really looking forward to doing Surfercross in San Diego the weekend off after the Washougal National.

Unadilla was OK, but a little disappointing. As soon as I got to Utica, NY (where we stay), I was already hating New York. I like the race, but Utica is where my girlfriend and I were stuck for 1 1/2 weeks when I punctured my lung last year. Needless to say I am not too fond of the state. The first moto, I got a really good start, but there were some major suspension setting problems with my bike. I went from a third place start to sixteenth really fast. I was afraid I would have a bad crash and end up puncturing my lung again. I figured it was better to be safe then sorry. Second moto, I got a bad start but steadily moved through the pack to sixth. The track was extremely fast and really ruff. I am so grateful God blessed me with a safe trip this time and pray for better results next weekend.

God bless.
