I've had this explained to me before, but I still have a hard time doing it. What do you do about the person whose spot you are trying to take that cries out "on your left (or right)"? I don't want...

Will do!
I'd say that you don't need to match my numbers to start racing. While I am new to track, I've been racing road for a while, and am a cat.3 there.

When I opened this thread I sure didn't expect to see a picture of myself! I'm #100 right behind you! This was my first night of track racing. I did the clinic back in 2017, but never made it down...

This is my 6th year of racing, and I have the same problem. I see the lines to move up through the pack, my nervousness gets the best of me and I rarely do it. As a cat.4 it was manageable, but now...

Cobb Park Crit

It's been a while since I've even looked at one of my race videos, let alone put it up for others to watch. Everything has been crap this year, and this race was no exception. It seems like an...

Well you picked an awful place and time to try to come back to racing!

I'm sorry, I don't mean anything bad. I'm a farm kid, and the whole experience was a little much for me. I asked a teammate for a ride because I didn't want to drive down there, and he ended up...

I'll be doing the whole series.
Lake Bluff scares me because of the tight corners. I went away from that one with a lot of road rash in 2016, the last time I did it. Then again I'm a cat.4, it...

I didn't feel that there was any such opportunity at the doc ride. Like I said, the A group was very unsocial. There wasn't much opportunity to talk to them, and when I tried the guys I tried to...

Mentorship? It doesn't exist, not in Wisconsin at least.

The first race I tried was in April of 2014. I went to that particular race because they had a "learn to race clinic" before the cat.5...

The coaches that I know of just work on the fitness part. I talked to a coach last year and I simply couldn't afford it, he wanted $550 a month! Anyways, it seems silly spending that kind of money...

My starter bike was a used Trek Madone 5.9 that I got a really good deal on. I bought it on eBay, and I figured it could be resold for $600-800 more then I paid if I didn't like it. I fell in love...

This was my first time down there. It was in the Kenosha business park, just off of I-94 & hwy 158. If I had to guess I would say that back in the 80's that was all farm land where they are held...

Don't feel bad, there isn't any around here either. To make it worse there doesn't seem to be anyone around here that wants to help anyone new get into racing.
