Why I love racing!
Everyone thinks I race because of “adrenaline” and “the rush”. Those are components of racing, but that is not what drives me to come back every year. Why do I love racing? Racing is very technical. I enjoy the mental and intellectual challenge. I love the fact that I know so little in the realm of what there is to master and I learn each and every time I am on the track.
Racing is very precise and there is always something to process, calculate or evaluate. I also enjoy the challenge of maintaining my bike once I get off the track. I am not a motor head and knowing how to keep the bike in good working order is an entirely different realm of knowledge and thus, another challenge!
