Personal History
I have rode most of my life starting around 5 years old. Now at age 35 I'm just starting to get back into it after taking 8 years off. I work shiftwork so catching every race can be difficult, I used 6 vacation days this year to attend the races I did. I enjoy trail riding, gp style races, along with harescrambles. Placed 5th in points this year even coming up a race short to add to my points. Just purchased the bike a couple months before the season started so I didn't have any time to get comfortable before the season started. I enjoy the atmosphere and the competitiveness of racing, along with meeting new people that share similar interests. Racing is a hobby of mine that I'm passionate about and I plan to end up with better results this upcoming year. In the offseason I plan to run some local winter series and try to spend as much time as possible on the bike.
Riding Goals
Goals I have set are to continue to ride as much as possible, race when I can, and continue to get better while bettering my race results. Next season I plan to focus on hitting all the races and finish up top of my class to advance up to 30+ B the 2024 season.
Competitive Highlights
End of 2022 season I started to get more in riding shape, bettered my race results substantially. Ended up having mistakes last laps of a couple races that cost me a position. Continued progression with better results is my plan
