Sorry it’s been awhile….. The internets been a bit rare lately.

First off, Happy Cinco de Mayo to you and your’s from me and mine!

Right now, I’m at a coffee shop in the stomping grounds of the Marshall Tucker Band (Spartanburg, South Carolina) just watching the rain fall. Actually, watching it dump…… Senor, No me gusta, Uno droppo, yo stoppo! We race at 8:00 pm tonight so i’ve got a bit over 4 hours to kill. After the crit tonight, we drive back to Georgia…….Home of the boiled peanuts. I am yet to try these…..and as of now, I plan on staying that way. No bueno con mi estomago!

Saturday morning we then drive to Alabama for the last criterium of the series. Then it’s straight to Atlanta for one last night in a hotel and then Sunday morning I’m homeward bound. Viva la casa de la king! I won’t lie, after 25 days being on road and living out of my suitcase…………I’m pretty excited to get home. I miss mi bonita muchacha and I believe my hind-end has reached it’s “van time” quota.

As for the racing, everything’s been going pretty well for us. Everyone on the team gets along very well, which makes all the travel go much smoother. Each night, we’ve been working hard to set up Hoppy as best as we can. A few nights ago, he made another podium appearance with a fine 3rd place finish. With two more races to go, hopefully we can pick up a win.

Well, if the weather man’s correct, tonight’s race should be a wet and slippery one. Hopefully the team can put it all together and get Hoppy placed well for the finish.

Cheers en hasta luego mi amigos!
