The End of CA

Another two weeks has passed, and its hard to believe we are already leaving the Golden State. This is coming to you from our last stop in California, from the town of Redding...about two hours northeast of San Francisco.

Two days ago we had the unbelievable happen to us: rain once again hampered the school we put on in Marysville. Throughout the night, rain accumulated more than an inch, but once day broke, so to did the rain. In an amazing twist, and thanks to the efforts of the Marysville Motocross track crew, the sun came out and the track dried to where it was not only rideable, it was fun. Thanks again to Charlie and Mike for doing such a great job with pumping the water out of that small river basin (not an easy task).

Two nights ago we made our way up here to Redding to stay with some more long time friends of Tony. Yesterday, for me, was my first day of enjoyable, non-school oriented riding in over a week (which is a long break when you are on a MOTOCROSS tour)! Coyote Ridge track is located only fifteen minutes from where we are staying and is tucked into the hills and canyons of the Mount Shasta area. With both Mt Shasta and Mt. Somethingortoher snow-capped in the distance, the green hills and deep canyons, for me its safe to say Coyote Ridge was in one of the more picturesque track locations I have ever visited.
