Riding Goals
I ride because I like to compete, I like to prove myself I can achieved anything I want to. Every single sport I practice in my life I compete in, is something I have in my blood. My goal is to finish top 5 in Intermediate Senior B 40+, within the season sell my KTM 250 XC and buy a 450 and finish the Florida Trail Riders Championship in a 4 stroke. The reason to switch to a 4 stroke in because I want to race within 2019 the Sonora Rally and Abu Dhabi Rally, so by January 2020 buy the same 450 brand new and race in the molle class in the Dakar Rally in South America.
For my Dakar goal, I am training every day (Cardio, weight, Yoga) and ride my bike at least 4 times per week.
