Mum and Dad


We made it safely to the UK! We flew in on Sunday morning to an excited mum and dad waiting at the airport. Good thing too cause both Jill and I were exhausted after the 15 hours of travel. I had a very "restless" woman beside me for my flight which made it next to impossible to sleep.
On the way back up from London we stopped by Rich's (RichArtConcepts.com) house to drop off my new lid for it's 2006 custom paint job. We have been throwing around ideas for a while now but I will have to wait and see what the mastermind has in store for me this year. I left most of the design up to him. Hopefully I will have it in time for the 1st World Cup.
Just getting ready now for this weekend's race in Wales. The local Dragon DH Series should be a bit of a muddy mess. My mum is doing her first race as a commissaire and I think she is pretty excited about it. We are going back to the old family tradition of racing the weekend out of the Camper Van, getting it cleaned and packed and ready for some action. The biggest differnce with this race is that my daddy is not going to be there as my mechanic. He is taking off to Imola, Italy to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix. He has always wanted to go so I am pretty excited for him.
