You may recall a year ago when I wrote a blog post about going to the Vintage Motocross Club of WA AGM and somehow leaving as president. Well today is my last day as president and I must admit I’m quite relieved that it’s over. I really had no idea what I was doing and felt like I was playing …
Rolling with the punches
My day yesterday at the motocross was a little more eventful then I would have liked. For those of you with a squeamish stomach you might like to stop reading now because the story that follows isn’t pretty. It was the first race of the day and I was having a great ride. Everything was going perfectly and I was catching …
Weekend Recovery
This post is so late because I’ve only just finished packing up from our long weekend. Can I please have another few days off to recover from my weekend?
