Helter Skelter

First up, then down, then back up again.

Time was growing short to early register the bikes for BUB Speed Trials, so I contacted Linnea at BUB who also reminded me that I need to apply for my FIM license if I plan to attempt a world record in August.

No problem. That just meant some paper work and—unh oh!—a physical exam. I called my M.D. and she said, No problem. Since my last exam was recent, she could just sign off except—unh oh!—I needed an echocardiogram. No problem. We can schedule one before my deadline, but unh oh!—the cardiologist is on vacation. No problem, I can go outside network, pay cash and have the EKG done today! Funny how that works.

It took some pressing and urging, but all the paper work was completed and turned in. Now I just hope it’s all correct and acceptable. I want that FIM international license so the Aprilia and I have a chance to break records at the BUB Speed Trials.

Fingers crossed!
