How do you know when you are ready to begin racing? I thought of racing each year and each year I chicken out. I guess I chicken out each time because I do not think I can compete. I ride quite a bit and enjoy it very much. I have a competitive side to me that wants to race, but I just do not want to be humiliated (although, everyone needs some humiliation every now and again). I am not looking to go pro (by any stretch of the imagination), but would like to compete for the fun of it. I am a pretty strong rider and I feel I could do fairly well. Not place, but alsoe not dead last. I know racers are pretty hard-core and I think that is the other side of racing that turns me off. Any racers out there with advice they would like to share? To race or not to? How to get started? How to handle a race situation if I finally do decide to?
Thanks in advance
