Default Just watched...

...The Doctor, The Tornado & The Kentucky Kid. There's a line in there that Hopkins said. He said something like "That's why we race, the addrenalin(sp) and the aggression."

I was on a large group ride and I got a late start on the rest of the group, so I started safely passing the slower guys and then I got past my buddy, only to see there was one more guy. I rode the hardest I've ever rode on that street to catch him, and I finally did. It got me seriously thinking about racing next year. Just to say I did it once or twice. It would only be the local tracks and maybe do only 2, maybe 3 races. I really think I want to try it to see how I do. Just like "Faster", this movie does a great job of motivating me. Time to fill out job apps for a 2nd job so I can actually try racing...

I know there's endurance and sprints during the rounds out here, but I'll proly stick to sprints because they don't go through tires as fast.

I know.
plus you dont have to worry about putting a team together. while it keeps to cost down to split a bike 3 ways, it fucking sucks to pony up cash to fix a bike somebody else wrecked.
