Very well put Patentcad, I just started racing the end of last season and now I am a fiend. I absolutely love it. The people I've met have been very encouraging and friendly, especialy the dudes on the team I joined. I cannot wait to get out on my bike and ride, the winter/weather makes it tough now, I have to settle for indoor rides weeknights now but saturadys and sundays I am on the road.

I wish I had more time to devote to racing but a wife, child and job make it tough. I'll be a cat 4 soon enough and if I never make it to cat 3 oh well, I am doing it for a challenge and fun.
