I agree, I think shame has deterred me from entering into races so far as well. The ladies who race locally here are amazing and to be in the same field as them would be a seriously humbling experience. But the thing is, I know that I'll probably finish last but just want the opportunity to finish!
Well, I have set myself a few goals
I entered a 50km RR in October with a goal of under two hours, which a achieved (1:57)
So my next goal has been another 50km RR in January... it is not so hilly and I expect to do much better (fingers crossed)

My partner just showed me an organised 18km TT that is on a week later on the 20 Jan... its a course I ride often, I have to aim to do a minimum of 35mins... the last time I rode it was in August and my time was 40mins into a strong headwind (out and back course). My goal is 33 minutes, but we'll see...

So there... I have accepted your challenge...
What will you train for and commit too?
