Maybe if you spent less time trying to impress people with numbers most don't understand or care about, you wouldn't be a middle category, middle of the road rider as you proclaim.

You're guilty of hanging around with a bunch of hardcore bikers and congratulating each other about your numbers and typing it on a blog that only your other hardcore buddies read and then get out into a race with others and don't live up to your expectations.

You can claim your not trying to impress anybody with this stuff but your actions speak otherwise.
