Well, I have to tell ya, I only wished I had raced all season! It's been so much fun...never thought I could do it. The broken ankle in May was a set back and dealing with Asthma for the first time in my life was a challenge. Don't let anyone say you can't do it! Thanks to the SPOKE-O-MOTION guys in Newmarket for putting together a fun and challenging event for all ages. I had a blast. It's definitely something I will do again next year. Old ASTHMATIC with broken bones and aching muscles....if I can do it you can too!
Don't think for a minute these races are easy! Yes, as a novice I get to do less laps than experts etc, but I do ride the same course. Each week I learn more control and take more personal challenges. Another hill to climb, log to go over, bridge to cross and tree to avoid! OK, I have hugged a few, and a few have battled back (got a few war wounds to show for it).
ANYONE can get off their butt and ride a bike....anyone! You just have to try. The girls from our Rockstar challenge learned that this year. Some had experience, some did not but everyone was able to go for a trail ride. There are flat paved trails, gravel trails and wonderful trails that go through forests or along side rivers. So get out there! Do a little today and before you know it, you will be looking for a little more of a challenge.
SO MUCH TO SEE, SO LITTLE TIME TO DO IT!
