No, I'm doing more.

I think it's fine to race every weekend, you just need to only taper for the "A" races. Also, be sure to pay attention to your body when it tells you it is tired.

Ok thanks I'm also most likely doing at least 1 road race a week if it works out right.

ummmmm racing every weekend isn't a good thing. i think at his level he isn't gonna be able to control himself wanting to go all out in a race. it's fine to race every weekend if you can set goals and stay with in certain zones for the entire race and then go out and ride some more after the race. i would say more then like 20 mtn bike races for you JMAC might be harmful.......however doing more road races is gonna be a good thing. road races will improve your fitness......
