The Southeast Road Trip

The storyline

It starts at EBR Performance in Texas, where Reid and Kyle pick up brand-new race bikes built by EBR and delivered by Altus Yamaha. Then the weather rewrote the map, twice. A storm closed the Panhandle tracks for repairs before the first gate drop, and when the rain came back it washed out Bostwick too. So the trip runs down Florida's east coast instead: two days at Pax Trax (the second one rained in), a day at Orlando MX, three days digging in at Moto Bros Okeechobee, and a day at Dade City. From there it turns north, five days at World Moto in Cairo, Georgia, then up to Club MX in Chesterfield, South Carolina, five more days on eight national-caliber tracks. The route keeps changing as the weather and the riding dictate, and where it goes after South Carolina is still being written. Every stop gets a full track feature and a training episode: what the track rides like, what Kyle drilled, and what it did for Reid's speed. It all builds toward the same place, the gate drop on Reid's championship season.
