I'm getting ready for the longest bike trip (1200 or so miles round trip) I've made on the America. I'll be leaving Rustburg,(near Lynchburg) VA on Friday Oct 6th early AM (4:00 or so) traveling to see triple header racing at the world's fastest speedway. Friday evening will be the ARCA event, Saturday will be the first ever race for the Craftsmen trucks at Talladega and Sunday will be the Nextel Cup show. Let's see, a long weekend off, a new Airhawk butt pad, new Michelin Commanders, a new mp3 player, an extended BA bike ride, camping at the best campground in the area (Racefever RV Park on the westbound side of Speedway Blvd. 1/2 mi W of the speedway entrance), three days of racing, great food over charcoal, I won't know how to come back to the real world on that Monday. Oh well, it will be good for my sanity. I can hardly wait, like a kid at Christmas.... If you haven't been to Talladega, go, it is an awesome place. Come on down.
