    Eh, we weren't supposed to be staying there but it would up that way. My main goal at the track was keeping the boss happy so she'll come back again next year. :D

    Dakar is just a little over a week away. I catch a plane Christmas day to arrive on the 26th, get my bike delivered from customs on the 27th, pick up gps and irritrac on the 28th, scrutineering on the 29th, riders meeting and gps training on the 30th and podium presentation on 31st with the first stage starting on New Years Day. 5600 miles in 15 days!

    Some highlights from 2011

    Bummer. Looks like Bill is out.
    From his blog.
    I just talked Bill on the phone and he is fine. He had some major bike problems yesterday and thought he would be able to change out the engine but the ASO was already there packing his bags and finding him a flight home. He is definitely bummed and I couldn’t get any more details from him. Hopefully I will be able to talk to him tonight when they reach San Juan, Argentina. He is planning on flying back down to Lima with me to see the finish.

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    Man Quinn Cody took a NASTY spill. Needless to say he is out. Any North Americans left on the bikes?
