Hi everyone,
As some of you may know, I was trying to qualify for the ISDE this year in Chile. Well, I've been accepted to go on a club team for Canada! :cool: Needless to say, I'm extremely excited. I've been riding my butt off and training as much as possible while holding down a full time job. This brings me to my next point: fundraising and paying for the Six Days. As of right now I will be paying for everything out of my own pocket (bike, flights, accommodation, gear, tools, tires, entry fees, etc, etc) with the exception of what the Gold Fund covers (gas for bikes, food at checkpoints). I'm actively seeking support but haven't had too much success yet. I'm hoping the members of DRN might have some contacts in the industry that could help me out. I'm looking for cash, gear, parts, tools, etc. I'm picking up my bike for the ISDE this weekend (2007 GasGas EC250 Six Days edition) and then I need to get it setup. If DRN wants to help me out, I can run DRN fender stickers on my race bike up here and my ISDE bike.
A little bit about me:
I'm 21 years old and recently graduated from the University of Alberta with a Mechanical Engineering degree. I started riding in 2000 and started racing in 2002. I race the expert class in the Pacific Northwest Motorcycle Association's offroad series and the Okanagan Dirtriders' Scrambles Series on a 2001 GasGas EC200. I eat, sleep and breathe motorcycles and am trying to live my dreams now that I'm out of school. Besides dirtbikes, I enjoy snowboarding in the winter, photography, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking and pretty much anything else outdoors.
Thanks for the help,
