"Making it to the starting line is half of the battle"
I was riding with a VC guy named Greg a few weeks ago. Old guy with LOTS of race experience. We were talking about crits and racing in general then he lays that little gem on me. "You know, making it to the stating line is half the battle..." And it kind of sunk in...and has continued to.
Tomorrow is the last night of our local crit series. A gem of a night and I can't go. Too much stuff to do in my non-cycling life. And this weekend there is a race in Cold Springs - the last for quite a while around here. Again, I can't go because of other obligations.
Hmmm - I think Greg just might know what he's talking about....
