Poland
So I made it to Poland around midnight on thur. after traveling for about 22 hours. Today was getting some rest and trying to adjust to the time. I got to ride the Bikercross course a bit. It is super fast with about 8 turns. Sounds long, but because of the speed and the short straights, I hear it is about 35 seconds. First straight should be a bit tricky, but the rest is pretty staight forward. You definitely need to get out front because I don't really think there will be much passing, but not due to the course being too narrow. This is one of the widest courses I have seen, it's just that you will be going so fast that you need to use all the berms if you want to maintain speed.
It is very spectator friendly with grass all around to sit on and watch. They have done a great job promoting the fact that I was coming to race. Posters are all around the town and today I went to the town hall to meet the mayor.
Good times, weather is good right now, but they say it may rain tomorrow.
More updates tomorrow.
