i got started because i wanted a training method for my motorcycle track days and anticipation for becoming an amateur motorcycle club racer. i have found that i really like the sport in general and am now focusing more on cycling after seeing some fitness results (lost 14 lbs in 5 weeks of riding and am down to about 185 lbs) feeling the best i've felt since HS. analyzing the cost and physical danger between the sports i'm actually now leaning towards racing the bicycle and leaving the motorcycle as fun transportation and the occassional trackday throughout the year. i've entered my first crit that is happening on sunday and another in the same series the following saturday.
