A warm weekend
Finally a weekend at home. From three weekends of seeing the rest of the US, and a couple of weeks of seeing the inside of a laboratory for a little too long, this weekend felt like a breather. A break. An opportunity.

The Bonelli park ProXCT was an experience – it marked the change in me from being a wannabe pro rider, to actually chasing points and prizes around the country. A big step; a big change in commitment of both time and money.
