A couple weeks ago, I decided for the sake of mental health to sneak in a track day at The Ridge before our dog's second knee surgery. Last time I drove out here was two years ago in a Chump car and I quickly learned just how much there is to forget. After the first couple sessions I started to remember the sight lines and landmarks I'd learned a few years ago with The Ridge Racing School and by the afternoon I was able add speed and started taking video. With a clear track, I was able to hit 2:17's and 2:18's fairly consistently and before I turned on the camera, Harry's said I managed a 2:16.90 that I'm a bit skeptical of.
The link at the top is the best lap I have video of, 2:17.40. Hopefully later this year I'll be able to head back out there and get an instructor to ride with me (paging @ rice_classic) so I can start trimming the fat.

How'd you like the Ridge? Went there for the first time yesterday and it was tons of fun, the elevation changes are way steeper in person than it shows in photos/videos. I managed to squeeze in a 2:10 and was consistently between that and 2:12 with Nitto NT01, Carbotech XP10 front, Ferodo DS2500 rears and SPC camber bolts.
Can't wait to go there again this summer. I would definitely go there more if it was a lot closer to Vancouver
