Hello! Scott and I had a wonderful weekend adventure. We left Olean around 12:00 on Thursday and headed to a State Park outside of Pittsburgh where we camped for the night. We were right on a lake and enjoyed a lovely evening with the full moon reflecting on the water.
    Friday morning we had my research appointment at UPMC, so we headed out early. All went well at the appointment. My pulmonary functions were down a little to 86%, but I don't think that is anything to worry about. After the appointment, we headed back to the state park, packed up, and headed to Steel City Race Track.    This was my first time at a pro motocross race, so I wasn't sure what to expect. We were instructed to find a place to camp on the hill, so we tried to get as close to the track as we could and set up the camper. We were told there were different sections, a family section, a controlled party section, and an anything goes section. We thought we set up in the family section, but the tents next to us partied until 4 a.m. that first night, I thought I would lose it!   Friday night we wandered through the pro pits trying to spot some of the well known racers (not that I would know any of them if they walked right up and introduced themselves). It was amazing to see the equipment, semis, and buses for each of the pro teams. We ran into some Monster Energy Drink Girls and, being the loving wife that I am, I took a picture of Scott with them.  Saturday was a lovely day for outdoor motocross, sunny and 79. It was quite fascinating to see the races and I especially enjoyed the women's race and the pit bike races. I lasted through the first three races before intermission, but the sleepless night before (those darn partiers) got to me and I passed out for the second set of races. I woke up to the winners being announced. The picture below is of Chad Reed, the only name I knew, and the overall winner for 2009.  Saturday night was much quieter, our neighbors left when the races ended, so we enjoyed a camp fire with some friends, fireworks, and then early to bed. One more experience to add to my list of "never thought I'd be able to do that" items!  |
