Once again the CSBA attended an outing with Absolute Cycle Experience, I believe this was the fifth and final time this season. The weekend weather was incredible for October, sunny and near 70° both days, a real blessing. We were disappointed that John L. did not make the weekend, being pulled away by other commitments.

I rolled in Saturday morning around 7:30, Dan R. & his friend Vincent A. were already on site and unloading. It was an exciting day for Vincent, being his first time with us and on a track. We helped each other unload and prepare for the day. Around 8 a surprise came pulling up, John D. Showed up to support us for the weekend. It was great having him there to help us through the day, provide tips for riding, assist with any bike needs, and of course have the coffee brewing. The day was a success for the most part, I improved greatly over my two day attendance, Dan & Vincent also had their bikes moving at a fast pace. Through out the day we all attended the ACE Intro or Advanced rider training. The coaches are very knowledgeable, giving us good advice through our sessions. I'm happy to report we had no injuries, but there was one high side on turn 7 at lightning with in our group, his bike suffered some minor damage.

As always, I open this report and account of the days events by giving thanks to God for his presence and protection throughout the day. He always provides our needs and I feel extremely grateful to him and our faithful friends that come out to give their support and make our offering a blessing to others. This marks our third “Day @ the Races” track day event this year and in keeping with our tradition, I couldn’t be happier. A special shout out goes to “Noah Lebkicher” and his family. They have a large family group traveling by van to see him graduate from Marine boot camp training this Saturday, so we keep them in our prayers on their journey. Greetings and thanks are extended to everyone in attendance, with a special thanks to all our sponsors that continue to support us and make our “Day @ the Races” such a blessing. We pay and give special thanks to Roy from Absolute Riding Experience for all his help and support to keep our members and friends on the track riding during the event. His team does a super job in organizing and keeping the venue safe and on schedule. We can’t say enough positive things for all his efforts. We also give thanks for the wonderful fellowship with all our friends and family, with blessings of protection experienced during our "Day @ the Races" event this day – we had one (1) downed rider and while it was just a bruised experience, with a little help he was right back up and earned his spot at the “A” group table. Well done!
