I had an exceptional time this past weekend at Swan Mx with the family. The kids really enjoyed camping overnight in the new camper as they played late into the evening, as well as watching Daddy go out to battle.

Each moto presented their own set of challenges that were informative and enlightening, as well as somewhat painful. I ended up riding three classes while finishing 11th overall in the 250 A with a crash and DNF in the first moto; 9th overall in the +25 A; and a 7th overall in the +30 A.

And a special shout-out to my dad for letting me borrow his bike, and to Dan at @munnracing for helping get the bike back in shape after my 250 A crash.

Overall, the weekend was time well spent with the family and a great experience being back on the track after only a few times on the bike in the past year, and 3 1/2 years since my last outing. Looking forward at improving my fitness and technique for the next round at Village Creek.
