Personal History
Recently started riding again after a 10 year hiatus. Raced schoolboy/amateur event back in the UK before moving to the US but never raced in the US before. My goal is to qualify for the Loretta Lynn's Amateur National Championship in 2016. Started training for racing again, doing motos, riding trails and doing a mix of interval gym training, running and cycling. I crashed while training in April 2015 which resulted in a torn rotator cuff and knee surgery, which I've finished rehabbing and have enabled to start riding again. I'm looking for any help to get me to the races and to qualify for Lorettas. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and for updates you can follow me on Instagram @SimonMX375 and Twitter @AnimalHungry.
Riding Goals
My competition goal for 2016 is to qualify for the Loretta Lynn's Amateur National Championship in the Vet 40+ class and/or the Vet 30+ class. My riding goals are to better perfect my riding technique in rutted corners and to build on my bike fitness so that I can run the three twenty minute motos at Loretta's as fast as I know I can.
Competitive Highlights
- 1st 30+C RMXA at Sweeney Cycle Park in Brush, CO (September, 2014)
Recently started racing again after a 10 year break and entered the District 25 RMXA race at Sweeney Cycle Park in Brush, CO. Pulled the holeshot in my first moto and led from start to finish then won my second moto for a 1-1 on the day.
- Holeshot and led my first Vet B race at Thunder Valley, CO until I had a mechanical failure (March, 2015)
I'm racing 30+B and 40+B in District 25 and then Vet 40+ and Vet 30+ in the Loretta's qualifiers.
