Vinnie, is 7 too early?

I have the Scala Q2 set up in my helmet, so I'll be able to call ahead and see if we're still on or not. Looks like storms could kill part of the day. We'll just have to play it by nose.

With that forecast I know this cowboy will be bringing rain gear.

Looks like we may have to hit it a bit harder earlier in the day than we did last year if we want to get some good tire scrubbing action going.

Looks good except for a passing t-shower. I'll take that over 90.

Well, the bad news is that Vinnie missed focus on about a bazillion shots. The good news is that he shot two bazillion. He got a whole pile of great ones. I'll upload the collection tomorrow.

Check it out, boys! Nick hooks up with me at 12:30. I didn't realize he was there so long after I looked back.

that's pretty cool.... didn't notice him out there, but of course if i had people behind me I either let them by quickly or pulled off. Had something against the feeling of someone behind me for this shin dig.

You weren't supposed to worry about that!

The photos from the day will be here in about 15 minutes. They really turned out great. Vinnie saved me some bucks. Doesn't look like Momentum has their stuff up yet anyway.

Here he is on my arse...

Hmmm... I'm getting a "no files to extract" error. Is this working for anyone else?
