10 5 2006 UPDATE:

A family health issue is probably going to keep me away from the track this weekend. If I do get out ... it will just be for an hour or two of therapy to move some rocks and continue to figure out the staging area.

The Walworth County BMX track build will be going on next weekend ... and, I can't wait to see what Mike, Bryan, Fred, Todd and the rest of the track building crew figure out for this seasons track. Jake's tracks have been first rate for as long as I can remember, and, with those guys helping, the secret to his success isn't much of a secret. We've been super lucky to have thier help in Milwaukee.

I have heard that the Walworth BMX opener will be the first weekend in November. Absolutely looking forward to it. I'll have periodic reports up here on how our locals do there.

If you need one last outdoor fix:

Fond du Lac has races scheduled for October 15, 22 & 29.
Rockford is also racing on October 15, 22 & 29.
Winnebegoland (Oshkosh) is closed for the year, but has work days scheduled for this weekend, October 7-8, and next weekend, October 14-15.

All of these tracks have schedules that can be accessed on the right of this website --->>>

Thanks again for all of your support and help. And, keep riding.

Thanks John !!!

I picked up a schedule yesterday and had planned to relay it ... but, there it goes. I'll also get it up in the next couple of days into a regular 'post' so that it's a bit more visible.

On a related note, I had a great conversation with Jake yesterday. The build of his track is scheduled for this weekend. And, he's allowing a few of us to observe the Walworth operation as a way to get ready to run our Milwaukee-BMX program. And we're really excited about that ... if we can deliver anywhere near the quality of racing to Milwaukee as Jake and his crew bring to the Walworth indoor or Rockford BMX ... I will be one really happy hombre.

Hey Kevin,

On the way home from racing this past weekend, I was thinking and let Laura ask the question in regards to the tracks we've been hitting: "What are your favorite tracks?" Lewis and I were in agreement on most of our choices and Milwaukee ranked very high on our list and it isn't even running yet!! So yeah we're excited too! Hope you guys all the best. You are surrounded by some quality folks!
