Sunday was round three at Woodland MX, the local winter MX series. It is only 7 miles from my house and I rarely ride there for some reason. They run rain or shine all winter long, the only time they close is for frozen ground. I signed up in the 30+ class and ended up with third overall out of 15 with bad starts in both motos. I never even saw the top two, by the time I worked my way to third both motos they were gone. The bike worked great but the conditions were less than great.
The first moto the guy two gates over got all crossed up and I backed out of it. Started that moto in about 12th and had to work my way forward. I had some camera issues and didn't get video of this moto. It was misting really bad so it probably would have been bad footage anyway.
The second moto the conditions improved quite a bit, it stopped misting and the track was drying out in spots. I chickened out on the start and rolled off early after getting a decent jump out of the gate and got passed going into the first turn. I also made the mistake of lowering the idle between motos and I stalled the bike three times. I got lucky and all three times it bump started but it was a dumb move on my part and it cost me some time.
