First Race!!!

[out_spokin']

I watched my first race yesterday...I'm pretty smitten! I'm going to ride the course soon and see how it goes. I've never raced at all, but it looks so fun, and yes, very hard. There's another race on the same course mid-November, so I might be on my way to whipping myself into shape to give it a go.

Great for you -- I like the idea of falling just one time less each race! Do you have more races planned out?

I don't have a plan yet, but I'll definitely be doing more races. There's a weekly series here Oct/Nov that draws a huge crowd, so I'm sure I'll be out for some of those.

Good thinking to watch a race first. I'd never been to a cross race before I did this one, but I have been doing a clinic series, so I at least have an idea of how to dismount and go over barriers. Off-camber turns are a whole 'nother story.
