I have just finished my 4th season of racing. 6th year of freeride. millionth year of ridding. I had an ok season. I got results just like i planned for my first year in semi, middle to 2/3s. I had a blast at most of the races. I have made a steady increase in performance each year. I have a great race bike. I have just enough cash to get to most of the races I want to hit.
so the problem is, I dont want to race. I had to kinda' drag myself to race last weekend at Hood and didn't go to Mt. Washington this weekend. I'm not going to Mammoth. I'm tired. In the last race seasons, I have finished with the feeling of not getting enough, and this year i'm on the other end. not that i got too much riding but i don't want to put forth the effort or cash to travel and race. I'm riding very reserved and safe.
so the question is, have you racers that have put in more time then I had a similar year? did it go away? did you quit racing? did you go to the top the next year? Anyone wanna buy a pile of bikes (just kidding)?
