Luckenback
May 17th-18th
The first event that kicked off the 2019 season was the first Super Trial round
in Lucken-bach, Texas. o save money, I carpooled with Ryan Young and his fam-
ily down to Luckenbach as he hauled a spare trailer with extra bikes and gear.
Normally we would make a family trip to Lucken-bach as it is one of the most fun
events I have ever attended, but with Dash only being 6 months old, he was a
little too young to be making the 17-hour drive. My parents made the drive out
to Texas from New Mexico and I was able to enjoy the weekend with them. The
event took place Fri-day and Saturday and while I had fun it was a disappointing
performance on my part. I tied for fifth in the splatter competition and finished
last in the Shout-out event. I felt shaky and out of control with little confidence to
do anything. It was a tough event to start the season out with, but in my eternally
optimistic nature I smiled and looked forward to the next event hoping to be
more re-laxed and have better results. I piled back in the little blue RYP bus with
Ryan and his family and we drove back to Louisville that Sunday. I would have 3
days at home before it was time to head out to Nebraska.
