Patisserie is knock your socks off good. I flew out there Thursday and that could
not have been more of an adventure. I was sup-posed to arrive at 11 pm and
meet up with my buddy Luke to then drive out to the hotel in Tilla-mook about
an hour away. Well my flights were delayed and I didn’t up landing until 12:30 am
on Friday and which left Luke hanging and meant that we didn’t make it to the
hotel until 2:30 in the morning. It just made my love for flying grow that much
more. Friday morning I prepped my bike and then left to pick up my friend Ron
form the airport who I would be rooming with for the weekend. On our way back
we got stuck in traffic leaving Portland and were held up at the rental car office
trying to swap cars because ours had a flat. It was just another day full of adven-
tures. Ron and I however, were able to make it to the site with just enough time
to complete technical in-spection and get in a few more hours of riding. Then
we were also able to make it to the Tillamook creamery for some well-deserved
pizza and ice cream to finish off the day. In fact, we made a trip to that creamery
for pizza and ice cream on Saturday and Sunday as well and it was the best end-
ing to some great days of riding. Oregon was a lot of fun and I had some fairly
decent results there. It was a great way to finish off the season and put my 11th
year of riding nationals in the books. I flew home Monday and was fortunate
enough to not encounter any issues. I was glad to be home with my family and
to have had the opportunity to make such great memories. Big thank you to all
my sponsors especially FactoryONE Mototrials, Ryan Young Products, and Sherco
USA. Even bigger thank you to my wife Whitney who is an angel and I am so
grateful for her efforts and sacrifices in letting me travel and compete! I can’t wait
to do it again next year! n
