An hour? You are very lucky indeed and should not let that opportunity to get by you. It takes me at least an hour and 20 minutes to get there, and it's not a fun trip, whether by subway, car or bicycle. But it's totally worth it. I'm 53 years old and hardly ever raced before, back when I was 21, and thought I would try it this year. My goal this year is to be in ten races and to come in last every time. So far, so good. And it's a ton of fun. The people are nice, too.
