Yesterday Meghan and I got up early and hauled down through the fog and cold weather to Monterrey to watch the Moto GP race at Laguna Seca.<\/p>\n

Now I am not a big fan of racing.. I can’t imagine going to a Nascar race, I’ve never bothered to check out the San Jose Grand Prix<\/a> race but I do enjoy the Tour De France and I loved the San Francisco Grand Prix<\/a> and attended the few of those that there were.<\/p>\n

But the Moto GP race is something to be seen.\u00a0 The way these guys control these motorcycles on this track is incredible.<\/p>\n

We arrived as some qualifying races were going on and spent the next few hours wandering around the grounds, checking out the vendors’ booths, and watching some other motorcycle races as they occured.\u00a0 The main event started at 2:00 and we hiked up the hill to see the warm-up lap and race start before heading to the back side to check out the best view in the house – the corkscrew.\u00a0 This section of the track is hugely popular with the crowds and this weekend’s race showed why – there were several exciting events including an incredible pass from the two bikes fighting for the lead (Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi).<\/p>\n

\"Valentino<\/a><\/p>\n

We continued along the track, watching the race from different vantage points until Rossi finally took the checkered flag.<\/p>\n

I look forward to next year’s race already.\u00a0 And at some point I’ll post more photos, but first I have to get through the Africa photos!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
