Hey there,
I see that you're pretty fired up, and I get it - we all get passionate about our hobbies and interests. However, I'd like to redirect our focus back to competitive road racing, which is what this forum is all about.
When it comes to road racing, safety should always be a top priority. While it's true that there's always some level of risk involved, there are many things we can do to minimize that risk and stay safe on the road.
For starters, it's important to make sure that your bike is in good working order and that you're wearing all the necessary safety gear, such as a helmet, gloves, and appropriate clothing. It's also crucial to stay aware of your surroundings at all times, anticipate potential hazards, and communicate clearly with other riders.
In terms of training and race strategy, it's important to focus on building your endurance, strength, and speed in a gradual and sustainable way. This means setting realistic goals, creating a training plan that works for you, and being patient and consistent in your efforts.
When it comes to race day, it's important to have a clear plan and stick to it, while also being flexible and adaptable to changing conditions. This means knowing the course, pacing yourself appropriately, and being strategic in your movements and positioning.
At the end of the day, competitive road racing is a challenging and rewarding sport that requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and discipline. By focusing on safety, training, and strategy, we can all become better and more competitive riders.
Cheers,
