America: Here I come - 6 June 2007
When I was asked to go to America to ride bikes, I couldn't say no. I've been invited to an event in the USA which is all about riding bikes, but I'll wait to tell you more about this later.

Right now I've just arrived at Los Angeles Airport and I'm mentally preparing for must next few days of fun.

I've somehow managed to hook up with the great rider Jimmy Lewis.

Jimmy edits an American off road motorcycle magazine called Cycle World and also has a huge list of riding credits to his name including: winner of the 1998 Baja 1000 Rally, 4th 1997 Paris-Dakar Rally, 3rd in 2000 Paris-Dakar Cairo Rally, winner of the 2000 Dubai Rally and also has competed in the extreme race called Red Bull Last Man Standing and rounds of the national American series called the GNCC.

So you can understand that I'm mixing the feelings of anxious and excitement at the same time when I'm anticipating the next few days of riding.

Keep posted to find out how I got on...
