Nine days and 5000 miles since my last post, I have arrived in Munich, Germany for the World Cup. Before I dive into that topic though, I must mention the rest of my experience in South Africa. Upon arriving at the airport for my early morning trip to Durban from Cape Town, Chris Endean and his Red Circle Racing crew were nothing but kind and welcoming to me. As I followed them on their racing endeavours, I could not stop relfecting on how amazing and unique was my experience. The chance to travel with a race team to a professional motocross event, no matter what country its takes place in, was an experience of pure joy and one that I will not soon forget.

The race team dynamics, interactions with the other teams, track crew, sponsors, and various other participants at the Maritzburg Motocross Club track was absolutley a dream come true. This is an informal thank you to all those who made my experience possible. I will soon post some pictures from the race so that everyone who visits this site can get a taste of what I witnessed.

As for Germany, what can I say? Family, friends, bier gartens and fussball...does life get any better?
