LAJ has beat into my head “Guard my front wheel”
”keep the rubber side down” “Guard my front wheel”.

Main goal is to not crash, and try to observe and learn as much as I can. I’m not sure how many events I will be able to do this year, due to my work schedule and not much control over which days off I get. There are two local Crit series that are weekly that I am hoping I can participate in when I am home.
It's hard to crash when you're dropped so start with not getting dropped.
