Strange





































That was some strange end of a six days. Day 5 passed without problems for Tory, she lost a couple of minutes at the start, repairing her clutch, it made a funny sound. With the help of Joe she managed to solve the problem. Her day went by pretty good. picked up a couple of minutes during the day on a very challenging course. Thierry had some issues with his rear brake but managed to get it going during the day to cool the brake down with gas from his tank. He was about 30 minutes late at the end of day 5. The mechanic was able to bleed the brakes so he was all ready for day 6.
We all were ready for day 6, up at 6, breakfast at 6.30, leave at 07.00 on our way to check 2 I was working with Mike and Butch this morning, Jan and Ilka would take care of the start and Kim and David with Michell were ready at the MX to help the riders. We were not able to locate the check at Cointzio and stopped at the gas station to get directions, during the talk the phone rang and Kim told us that the day 6 was cancelled due to a drug gang revenge. We could not believe it, but when we arrived at the impound area, several people were already discussing what happened. Several car bombs went of on Friday evening, a shooting took place with the police. and several roads were blocked. Close to our hotel a car bomb went off, the french connection were in a restaurant and saw it happening but finished their meal and went home. They did not seem to think it was a problem.
Well after hanging around at the impound and some last minute shopping we went to the pool at the hotel had a swim, beer and food enjoying an unexpected day off. After a nice dinner went to bed early for a long night.
Today, sunday we went sightseeing again to tzintzintzan, we were here before on the day of the death, today we wanted to have a closer look on the churchyard and the tempels.
A great day with lots of history. We are going for a massage later this evening.
