Just dirt

but so much fun!

Things I discovered today:

1) I've never been to the livermore bmx track even though I thought I had.
2) I wish I had gone a lot sooner.

and

3) When you pratice pumping on hills, and unweighting your bike on the uphill, the coolest thing happens: suddenly you're flying through air and jumping a lot further than you thought you could.
4) However one should not attempt to jump a tabletop unless they know how to land on the other side.
5) Ouch.

Also

6) I can manual over a small hill now.
7) but it's better not to jump around and scream "I did it! I did it!" afterwards, because then people come over to investigate and make sure you're okay and say things like "oh, you're a girl."

Um. Yes. Most days.

But the most important thing learned today:

8) It gets very hot in Livermore
9) and there is an A& W very close to the track
10) and root beer is like the best drink ever when you're very, very hot and dirty.


Pictures of the track that don't look like anything at all. One cool thing though, I saw the Barnum and Bailey Circus train go right by the tracks here.
