Edit
They told me Sunday's VXCS Cross Country race started on a motocross track. They didn't say me that nosotros would live on running the whole thing, ane time per lap.
At the historic menses of 42, never having competed on a existent motocross track, at that spot actually was no wishing to produce so. Air is non something I am used to catching every bit a roadracer, unless I actually fuck up. Sure at that spot were pocket-size jumps riding inwards the woods, 4 human foot drops into creek beds in addition to the like, but zilch that would stimulate got me eight, ten, twelve feet inwards the air wondering which mightiness live on the best agency to land.
But hither I was end Sunday, lining upward alongside 150 other morons, getting cook to accept a hot lap nether fight weather on a motocross rail I had non seen until xxx minutes prior, had never ridden in addition to actually had no clue every bit to which agency it fifty-fifty went. On a motorbike manufactured inwards the piece of cake 1980's! How did I buy the farm myself into these things?
Come race off route alongside us they said! You'll live on proficient at it they said! I cannot resist a challenge, in addition to I stimulate got to acknowledge to feeling only a niggling chip of confidence inwards my off-road riding prowess every bit of late. I knew from my pavement experience that the truthful test, the alone agency to actually know how proficient y'all are is to human being up, ready in addition to position your donkey on the line. The starting line.
