I usually like to kick my feet up on Sundays – think it’s reasonable to set aside one day a week without working. Of course by about 3pm I had to go into the shop to get the bike ready for Monday – I’d planned to meet Pat and Zoe at Thunderhill and put a few sessions in on the 848 to get reacquainted. I was watching the weather.com website and Monday sounded pretty ominous – wind, rain and sub-60’s temperatures, and really I wasn’t in need of practice that badly.

These days it’s all about quality practice, not quantity – and with the AMA grids based on timed qualifying sessions, all I’ll need to do this coming Friday is do one single good lap, and I’m in the show.
