Even though I came home to a little bit of snow, it still feels great to finally be at home. In fact, I slept for 11 hours last night! As much as I love being on the road for extended periods of time, there’s still nothing like sleeping in your own bed.
With so many events these past couple weeks, I’ve still got a bunch of photos and video clogging up my laptop, so I’ll start rolling things out today.
Last week in Daytona, there was an event Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and then we headed north to Club MX and then the Detroit Supercross, so yes, the gigabytes just sort of kept piling up!
I’ve got a few days at the home office, so I’m looking forward to some time to sift through the photos and video before making the always-thrilling drive to Indianapolis for the next round of Supercross this weekend.
This photo drifted across as a Facebook Memory a couple days ago. It’s from a trip to the Indy SX back in 2010. Sean Bowker borrowed a relative’s minivan and we filled it with Tyler Spikman, Sean, Brett Lee, Todd Kuli, Scott Donkersgoed, and me. Those trips are always a good time.
I don’t think the road trip itself will be anything near the entertainment this one was, since it will be me, myself, and I in the van this time.
Let’s have a quick look at a few things from this past weekend:

This was Noah Viney‘s first go in the 250 Pro and Open Pro Sport classes. Unfortunately, it didn’t go as he was hoping and got hit pretty hard by another rider, damaging his bike and hurting his leg. Fortunately, nothing is broken but it took him out of competition.
Here’s how Noah summed up the evnet on his IG page:
Good luck at the Spring Ding this week, Noah.

OK, before I get bogged down trying to post something else here in this column, let me end it and get to work on a bunch of new stuff. Have a great week, everyone. It’s hard to believe, after the weekend we just had here in SWO, but Gopher Dunes will be opening later this week as temperatures head up to 17C by Thursday!
