R4TC: 2010 Ride for the Cure at Cahuilla Motocross Park

I haven't hit the track much in 2010, but knowing that the 4th Annual Motocross Ride for the Cure Event was coming, I dusted off the KTM, dropped it off at Malcolm Motorsports for some fine tuning, hit Milestone Motocross Track for a handful of warm ups and I was ready to enjoy the funnest event of the year hosted by motocross enthusiast herself, Laurie Carey, who is constantly raising the bar for fundraising, support, education and interaction for Breast Cancer Awareness!

The morning started off amazing, perfect day to moto! The sky's were bright blue and littered with dark fluffy rain clouds! Dropping rain in perfect track watering patterns, the day was in full swing and the pits were packed! Tons of Factory support lined up for the event, they even had a never ending Freestyle show in the works! Mike Metzger, the God Father of FMX was doing his thing and dozens of other talented riders busting out tricks for the fans.

I pretty much settled into a pack rat of MXGirls, WMA Pro Rider Elizabeth Bash, Race Techs Michelle Marshall, and Mission Motorsports Brooklyn McClendon. We had a blast mixing it up on the main and vet tracks, sporting our decorated "Ride for the Cure" Bra's and having a blast spinning laps, saving boobies!

In the end I was amazed at the growth this event has accumulated over the years, by far the most impressive outcome I've seen. I'm looking forward to next year's event, but more importantly, it's touching to see all the work Laurie Carey puts into the Support and Awareness of Breast Cancer.

I didn't make it out to the 2009 A Day in the Dirt, but my fellow MXGirl and race correspondent did! Bridget Hall is one of my favorite weekend warrior - dedicated to the sport of motocross! She has been on fire participating in all the local events!

I reached out to Bridget for her MXGirls feedback on how her race went out at LACR (Los Angeles County Raceway) for the 2009 A Day in the Dirt event held over Thanksgiving weekend in Palmdale, California. Once again there was a healthy showing of girls out there racing the Women?s GP on Saturday morning. Some of the well known names in attendance were Tarah Geiger, Heather Kelley, and Sayaka Kaneshiro. Tarah Geiger clenched the win in the Women?s Pro Class, with Kaneshiro finishing second. Bridget ended up finishing third in the Women?s Intermediate class and had a great time as usual! I look forward to attending 2010!

Bridget at Day in the Dirt


As many of you know, Enzo Suspension?s Ross Maeda suffered a debilitating crash in September at Starwest MX Park which left him with a broken back. With the help of Enzo Racing, TransWorld Motocross Magazine and Perris Raceway, the motocross community came out on December 6th to have a ride day and show support for 'Rossi'. Many vendors donated great prizes to the raffle & auction and the ride day was packed! The moto community is such a fantastic one; it?s amazing how many people came together to show their support! Many of the pros were in attendance as well, such as Jeremy McGrath, Mike Sleeter, Brett Metcalfe and Brian Deegan (to name just a few). It was a HUGE success and everyone wishes Ross the best of luck in his recovery. Please follow his journey at www.rossiproject.com
