As Christopher Columbus once said...Today, August 20, 2008 at 3:30 p.m. my friends: Bernard, Ernie, and I set sail on the FayFlower. Incase some of you don't know, Florida is being hit with Tropical Storm Fay. It has been raining for almost 3 days straight! Needless to say, I have been bored out of my mind! Today I was bound and determined to figure out something to do! So Bernard, Ernie, and I decided to go rock climbing! So were tearing it up and then the manager comes out,''hey, I'm sorry, but we have to close, the roads are getting to flooded and soon nobody will be able to get home.'' Bummed out as we were, we had to find something else to do. Well my buddy Ernie has a Jon boat [no he didn't buy it from a guy named Jon, thats just what you are suppose to call it, I guess?] so we have this brilliant idea to take the Jon boat down the canal! Awesome! No sooner we get set sail on our voyage, people are parked on the side of the road taking pictures of us! Meanwhile, Bernard is paddling us downstream with a snow shovel, Ernie is rocking the boat, and I am freaking out because they are telling me that there are a bunch of alligators in this canal. After about 3 miles of drifting we decided to dock and go mess around with the RC boat! I think we are going to walmart tomorrow, to go buy some skim boards! Till next time..Bon voyage!

Were Back!
weekend for the fifth and final round of the CMRC Suzuki Ladies Nationals at Sand Dee Lee. We flew into my hometown, Syracuse, NY on Friday, then drove into Canada. We arrived at the track and it looked like they have been getting monsoons like we have been getting in Florida the past couple weeks! It was super muddy! Thank goodness this is a sand track and can soak up quite a bit of water.
On saturday I usually practice, but the only practice I got in was off-roading with my Dad in the rental car! What a fun time that was! You see, our tour guide, Giselle [The GPS] told us to go straight, instead of making a right. We followed her instruction and it led us into the forest and through the trees...Literally! Anyways the track seemed to be shaping up good and everyone was praying for the rain to hold off till Monday.
When we arrived at the track on Sunday it looked awesome! A bit muddy, but the track crew did a great job of getting the track in great shape! I was stoked for today. Not only was today championship day, but my friend Jenn, www.no1jenn.com came out to watch me get the #1 plate! Well, I went out for practice and got my bike and myself all dialed in. The track was pretty kewl. The layout was fun and I really liked the whoops! After practice and opening ceremonies, it was time to moto! If everything went smoothly I could wrap up the championship in the first moto. Thats just what I did! First, let me tell you about my start! It was the best start of my life! I finally got the holeshot aboard my Orange Rocketship, KTM 144! I pullled a holeshot for all the 2 STROKE fans out there! haha I was so stoked after that, I could've pulled off and been happy with that! I didn't though, I kept on. I was going pretty good out front and then I fell. Whitmore got by me and then with two corners to go I passed her back. We had an awesome moto! After the MX1 class, the womens podium took place. It was awesome! I am going to be on the Canadian Motocross Radio show tonight, just check out www.racerxcanada.com there you will find the link.
I'm super happy with the way things went this
