Well after a nice trip south, a quick stop on the way home in Trenton NJ would bring us to a stopover for a round of the USGP series. Being tanned from hangin' on the beaches in Florida, we probably looked a bit out of place in the cool north east.
The weather was calling for cool and rain, we got warm and mostly cloudy, some sun, with temps toping out around 21 celcius! Although it had rained all week, especially the night before, so the mud would make its presence felt!
After a bit of a registration craziness, it was off to get ready. It looked like it was going to downpour at any moment, and the course was muddy, and with a tight schedule, warm up was on the road, and the first lap would be a blind one.
Line up for the start we'd have over 85 in the grid, and I was all the way to the back. A decent start, and lots of mud would facilitate slowly moving up the field. It was definitely a tough day, and with the body not feeling a hundred percent, likely from the travelling and eating over the trip, I was surprised to hear I was in the top 20. By race end I would finish 16th, a nice finish to a really tough day. It was warming up and the sun would even poke out by this point! Not a bad day.
We stuck around to watch the pro races, lots of excitement, amzing talent, and even more mud!
Next stop, two rounds to go in Ottawa!
