I noticed Dave Cole's K1300S in the parking lot today and yesterday Harold Sciarra's mint green RT was there. The moto parking is starting to get active again.

Collegiate bicycle racing season began in earnest last weekend, but that didn't require motos. This weekend, William & Mary's road race did, so Saturday evening it was off for the 3-hour ride to Williamsburg. It was so warm, I didn't have to plug in. Sunday saw me spend 11 hours on the bike, 8 hours of racing and the 3-hour trip home. I was glad for the new Gerbings electric jacket on the way home, as it was all in the dark.
The new Gerbings Microwire technology is outstanding, bringing on the heat almost instantly and keeping it warm all around by virtue of the high neck and thermostat. On full blast, it was like being in a warm shower. I do have one recommendation: keep the garment tight, as it works best in areas in which it is in full contact with your body.
The race was a bit of a crashfest, but none of them was too serious: a colorful broken nose, dislocated thumb, and some other scratches and dents.

April 17th is the date. We'll probably meet at Abell's and have brekkie, then ride over, as usual. Stand by for more.

Michael Dennis Blom left us 21 September 2009 as a result of Mantle Cell Lymphoma. On the left is Simon Beglar, his old friend from New York and fellow moto ref. This was his last ride with Simon, Stefan Yencha, and Dirk (whose last name escapes me). This was a day of grace before the cancer overcame him.
