MotoGP Day 1: The Ride Up

After 8 hours and 339.2 miles we finally made it to Laguna.

The ride was easy aside from the traffic in Malibu and Santa Barbara. Originally we planned to take the 1 all the way up so we could see the coastal sites on the way up but decided to take the 101 due to time constraints (setting up a tent on the dark is no fun). I think i forgot how nice the California interior is. The hills this time of year are beautiful and riding a bike really lets you experience the sites and sounds of the road. Its easy to get lost in your thoughts, luckily the road is straight.

Even though riding the bikes up here is fun, after 8 hours you're glad to arrive at the track and set up your tent. We found the site easily and Kevin made dinner. Everyone's having a good time and drinking I'm off to watch "The Long Way Down" on someones outdoor screen.

Tomorrow's update will be more exciting with practice and qualifying going on.
