Back at The Ridge after the wet PIR round. Some good battles across a cold, chaotic Saturday and a fast Sunday, ending with two seconds and two wins.

Two days off a crash at The Ridge and into a Saturday monsoon, I rode within myself: both Novice 1000 class wins, two P4s in Open Amateur, and no further crashes. The pace built to a 1:14.8 by Sunday, and off the bike I spent the weekend coaching Aaron and showing Sidney the ropes of a race weekend.

OLM scores each class on combined points across its two races. My P1 and P2 in Open Mini tied me for the win in the class, opening the season at the front. The second-to-last race I lost by just 0.280 seconds.

• 2ndOpen Miniresults

Twelve hours, 721 laps, and 16.6 seconds between us and the win. With an all-new team of Kyle Nesbitt, Dustin Walbon, Brandon Hope, Jay Braillard, and Kevin McPhetridge, a kick-start that fought us on restarts and a mid-race crash put us about four minutes down, then we clawed it back at roughly a second a lap to finish P2 by a hair.

Three more overall wins, plus the OMRRA Novice 1000 season opener off the same grids. The streak finally ended in R19: a great fight for the lead and a new personal best (1:13.4, quicker than my Friday SuperPole pace), then a jump-start penalty knocked a P2 back to P5.

My first club-level race weekend, five months after breaking my arm flat tracking and on a bike Patrick and I had just rebuilt. Four starts, four wins, including clawing back from a stalled restart at the very back of the grid to P3 overall and the Open Novice win. Fastest lap a 1:54.9.

• 4thOpen Miniresults

Seven of us this time: Alex Taylor, Ben Freiberger, Garrick Fulbright, Gavin Soderholm, Hannah Johnson, John Gessner, and me. The race nearly ended early, but we JB-welded a hole in the engine case overnight and finished anyway, good for 4th and the Director's Choice Award.

• 8th9-hour endurance

A friend invited me to lead his team for this nine-hour charity enduro on Vancouver Island (it raises money for local causes, and is now run as the Isle of Van). I rode lead on his 2022 KTM 450 SMR for the enCompass B Team, alongside Euan Cameron and Nick Newton. Nine hours, most laps wins: we turned 327 laps for 8th of 17, set a best lap of 1:26.579, and raised $1,030 for the cause.
