Racing has seasons so the racers dont drop dead or have their legs fall off. Also there needs to be open dates in the calender for different kinds of races. A lot of people race in a lot of different formats. Road, track, cyclecross, TT, crit, mtb. The fall and winter have some TT series. I raced at Piru Sunday to get a baseline reference to start training for next season that will start in Feb. Racing once a month out there will help me evaluate progress working up to speed training in Dec. and Jan.
