Well after ariving a half hour before the start of the sport race, I did ok. My start was really bad. I probably wasted my last call up for the year. The start really left no time to spread the field out so I got caught behind a lot of slow people. Also I had a horrible time getting used to the rock gardens. I went over the handlebars in the first single track section. The strange thing is that the climbs really didn't bother me at all. I had plenty of power, but the mud sucked my tires down. I was very happy with 1 hour 20min (good for 11th).
I had a nice first ever motorcycle ride with my dad. It was pretty cool to be able to ride with the old man. We never had two motorcycles to ride together. Total I've ridden 200miles on the R6 since thursday, so not too bad considering it's not that comfortable. Really I think riding the road bicycle has helped with kind of a similar geometry. One worry though is the palm of my hand has been numb since thursday(no pain though).
