The Desert Race Diaries

I just can't let it get to a year between posts. I just can't!

But I'm cutting it close aren't I? Well there are plenty of good reasons for that, but I'm not going to get into all of them just now (probably never to be honest).

To bring you all up to speed (because I know the ENTIRE WORLD is hanging on this blog just dying to know what I'm up to) as mentioned previously I now live in Washington State, in the Seattle area. When I first got here I was able to line up a bike to race and even made it out to a race and had a great time. Got to go riding a couple times, and even met Paul in Idaho for another race.

But reality quickly set in after that. Though I make a great deal more money than I was making in Utah, life is quite expensive here. Plus as I age my priorities change and money I would have previously spent on myself and racing has been diverted to other things. My goals and desire to race haven't changed, just that now I need to earn a lot more to be able to do it.

My love of the sport hasn't diminished at all though, so I'm turning to things to keep my foot in the door while I take some time to make myself worth more money to my employer (this is a subtle, or maybe not so subtle, way of saying after a long time I have returned to college to get a degree).

This brings me to the future and the goals I have set, and the future of this blog. This is, officially, the last post here at desertrace.blogspot.com. My blog will continue however, officially located at Furiousbros.com. I will leave all these posts here though, for anyone's viewing pleasure.

While there is a lot of time and races and rides that have gone unreported, I'm going to have to just let the past be in the past and start with a clean slate.

So for my continued musings on the sport, and my involvement in it, and what the "Furious bros." is all about, I invite you to continue reading me there! Until my first post there, adieu.
