I'm going to ache again

    Twice on an MX track in one year! Much less crowded today, so a lot
    more fun, until the snow started falling in earnest, at which point
    the track turned squelchy and the ruts appeared. That was no problem
    though, becuase with fine droplets of molten snowflake on my goggles,
    I couldn't see enough to alarm me anyway.

    One minor embarrassment was when, having reeled in another rider over
    the course of one lap, then tried to get past unsuccessfully over the
    course of another lap, I figured I could outbrake him into the hairpin
    from the finish straight onto the start straight. I slipped down the
    inside line, he took a wider line and, as I expected, shut off and
    braked early. I *just* got in front, then bloody stalled the bike on
    the inside line of the hairpin, causing him to stop and stall
    alongside me. D'oh! In the race to get our engines restarted, I won
    and completed the overtake. Then stalled again a few corners later.
