UPS brought my race-day parts the other evening – 2 tires, tubes, rim strips, fork bleeders and a spare goggle lens. Started mounting up the tires and discovered I’d ordered the wrong size rear tube. As luck would have it, a friend had the right size ‘in stock’ and was able to use the one I’d ordered for his 250, so we swapped and I was back in business (thanks Bruce).
Tires on, chain adjusted, air filter cleaned and oiled, and a full tank of fresh pre-mix…can’t help but think I’m forgetting something.
Didn’t sleep well last night, but I never do the night before a race. That’s OK, it won’t catch up to me until well after it’s over. In the mean time, the goal today is to finish on the lead lap, and if that’s not doable, then just finish.
I’m pretty excited. Let’s hope I don’t suck.
