    Day After Christmas at HPR

    Since Glenn was so generous to open up HPR for us this last week, I took the opportunity to get out there with the R1. I went with Marc and Monica, so packing up their truck and trailer w/ 3 bikes was interesting, but we made it happen. Here's some pics Kristin took of us out there, and a couple videos I took w/ my new GoPro 960.





    Marc following.








    While Marc and Monica went out for one last session, I took the opportunity to get some pit lane shots.





    Fooling around with HDR settings.

    Want to thank Marc and Monica again for making room for my baby to make it out there, and helping me prep it too. You guys are awesome!

    Looking good, Wicky!

    Good thing you got in front of Marc, that guy always parks it in the corners!

    I'm planning on being out there a lot more this year, so I'll let you know for sure.

    I was the one parking it this time. I think I was getting better the last couple sessions after Ray Ray came up to me, slapped me around a few times and told me to stop it.

    If you need help, let me know, I have a good leg.

    We all park it in the corners (at least to a point). I should know, I'm an expert roadblock. But who cares, it sure is fun!

    It was 55 degrees that day, that's not cold to me. The morning was a little chilly, but we didn't get on track until 10:30ish.
