Heat is on for next season
By TMX Archives on 13th Sep 13
I GUESS now that its September the summer is over but you wouldnt think so here in California as the temperature is over 100 degrees and it is really humid as well.
We need a good rainstorm and I know it sounds crazy but I kind of miss the rain!
With the last few races of the season being just average for every rider on our team there isn't really much to talk about there.
The last round at lake Elsinore was very hot. It was almost 110 degrees so that was by far the hottest race I have ever had to work at.
I think I coped with it well enough as I have been here a year now and have climatised to the weather.
It was nice to speak to a few fellow Brits who were there on holiday watching the racing.
I only live about 30-minutes away from there so I could sleep in my own bed and just drive up in the morning.
Blake won the last heat of the year so let's hope we can start the next season as we finished this one.
I think in the history of team Pro Circuit this is only the third year that Mitch has not won any championships. So let us say things are in motion to change that next year.
With the season here over all ready and no championships to our name you can guarantee the work load and testing is about to go crazy.
Right now all of the riders are at home relaxing and resting before they start to train again in preparation for the Supercross season in January.
So that gives us time to get organised and prepare everything we need to get the job done.

I used to dream about having the chance to work in America and some day be part of the Pro Circuit team.
So being able to fulfil a lifelong childhood ambition has made me feel so fortunate and all the sacrifice and hard work paid off.
And for Mitch to want me to stay on his team means so much. I have made some great friends here but not lost touch with my old ones back in Europe.
This year has been an eye-opener for me. When I was working in Europe imagining what life as a mechanic was like, I used to think they had it easier than us.
But that's where I was wrong. They are both as hard in their own ways.
Flying to the races and back and having to leave home at 4am to get to the airport gets to you.
And with a layover in Atlanta on pretty much every flight and the three-hours East Coast time-difference takes the wind out of your sails.
But with one year under my belt I now know what to expect and am a little more experienced. One thing is for sure I don't get any free time being here.
Back home after the racing I would get a month or two off. But not now. They said I was lucky to get a long weekend. And with the first
