Good to hear from you FF! I'd really like to get my 2 before I hang em up, so I either need to appreciate the success (modest) I've had and leave it alone, or commit to a lot more races either this year or next. I'm 46, and feel as good as I ever have on the bike, and while getting points in a 3/4 is doable now, I know that window is closing.
