so i havent ridden a motorcycle in 7ish months, i thought id share what i have been doing instead. racing bicycles. i started off in CAT5 which is the beginner group. notched a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 11th and a DNF due to a flat. I then upgraded to CAT4, which is the next higher catergory (CAT1 is top amateur CAT then its pro), where so far i notched a 7th in a CAT3/4 race, a 29th, 16th out of 44 in a race that had 1000ft of climb per 9 mile lap, and another DNF due to a flat. so far its a blast and its awesome seeing how far i come already and how far i have to go yet. heres a pic from the last race where i got 16th. this is the climb to the finish. about a mile long at 15%ish grade.

Good for keeping my old ass in some sort of shape (round?) for track. So when will you be gracing us with a return to your former motorcycling glory Jr.?

I need to do something to get in shape. I could not believe how drained i was for those races. I got tired so fast and both races were red flagged.

Looking good Justin. It's OK for you to take a hiatus from the track while I do as well, but when I come back I expect the same from you...

Justin,
I've been following your updates on Facebook and you are indeed kicking some ass. Would be nice to get passed by you again at a track day though. You can laugh at me when I'm winded and sweating my ass off and you're not even getting your heart rate up...
