Take time to go to last RedbirdSRA meeting

I go in to see Tim. Let him know I'm done with RedbirdSRA. Everyone around busy volunteering. Made decision to discontinue efforts to support Redbirdsra. Nice response on email in return. No hard feelings. More a financing one. Time management pulling me in other directions. Wife,Kids, work need more focus.

Round 2 Dillmans Farm SIS

Late start on getting there. New Tires, new chain, new bearings thanks Brent. Descent start on the line Kurt B next door to me. Brian and Rik Smits close bye. 10 in the woods. Then the Cross logs got me on the last one. Last place. SO I cranked it up and it the hyper mode. Blasting every corner. Missed a turn going in to the southern Pines. The Low section were like the silt beds of wet muggy grass track. Then the tight technical section went away fast. Deep ruts Time to take the high line!
Wearing thin the first hill climbs are not doable 10 bikes stacked up.
Time to improvise. turned around selected a more zero route but I'm back in the hunt. 8th from last good decision. Maintain for a couple laps. The White flag. Time to blast it out again. But the hammer down. 7h place and crash. Got up shook it off. The the dam logs Bee stings me and had swells up. Cant grip clutch anymore. Finished 8th. Good day. Tougher racing then past years.
