"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - 47 races.

correction: 54 races. I went back and checked the calendar.

2 wins (4 if you count 1 omnium and 1 TX Cup), 17 times in the money, dropped 10 times. 7 dnf's, 1 crash, no flats, 1 mechanical.

Foo. My legs have an accumulated fatigue. I think there's scar tissue deep in those muscles.

Well done sir.

do you get numbers on weeknight races too?

do you get numbers on weeknight races too?

one for the year, that top one. 26 races in the series, I think I did 19.

Now multiply by the average race entry fee and you're looking at over $1500. UGH!

correction: 54 races. I went back and checked the calendar.

the Tuesday nighters are $10 each, and many of the others had discounted 2nd entry. but yeah, close to $20 avg I'd guess. Didn't spend much on hotels but I did buy gas and food for many of them.

Eh, no one said this was a cheap sport.

Nice job. I only had ~30 races in this year. I could count but that would be a lot of work.

You can race for free if you place every time. lol

for the year, or altogether?

I ended up with 48, that includes 4 Tue. night crits. My legs were pretty smoked at the end. Learned a lot, got some results and upgraded to Cat 3. Plus I stayed off the ground through it all. Now I have to get ready for next year.

Great job Creakyknees!

59 races, and i'm pretty sure i broke even.

then again, the most i paid for a race this year was €5.

for the year, or altogether?

for the year 2009.

total since I started in the 80's? ... more than I want to think about right now.

but, 2009 is definitely the most racing I've ever done in one year. there simply weren't as many races back in the day, and life/family/job all hit a great situation this year, so I got to ride my bike a lot.

Wow. I did 15. I guess I'm warmed up for the season now! :)

58 not including cross

3. 2 crits and a tri. However, I've got two left before the year is over.

30 races or so. But I did do 3 crits in one day. That should count for something.

I know, someone did 4. I'm a wuss. Go ahead with your bad self.

Slacker here. 22 races for the year.

57 total. Cooked. Done. Through. Fin.

Good season though.

26 races this year. 26 total career races.

Can't wait til next season!

Somewhere between 45-55 for me. Plus a few nights at the track and a cross race or two.

that's a lot of racing.

57 total. Cooked. Done. Through. Fin.

Good season though.

I got well over 100 if I get to count the thursday nights crits I did. It adds up fast when you do 3 races in a night!

absolutely

my best years were always when I had 70+ races
if we'd had more training crits back then, I'd have easily been over 100 a number of times

diggity!

if it wasn't for racing, I'd have no training at all.

28 for me.

how long are said crits?

40 minute, followed 2 minutes later by a 30 minute, then 60 minutes later a 45 minute. First is Cat 3/4, second is Cat 4/5 and third is 35+ masters. It was tough going from the first to the second because you only have a couple of minutes to recover from a full out sprint finish, Thank God it was a 4/5 so the speed was a little slower and I could sit in and recover for the first few laps.
The Driveway Series in Austin has got to be the best weekly racing series in the USA. Racer X, El Diablo, not to mention lots of other guys that are probably on this forum race out there. Can't wait for them to start back up in March!
