This weekend I shall NOT be:

worrying about coming first/last/making a mess of my run
worrying about kit going wrong halfway down the run

This weekend I shall be:

Storming the descents
Chilling with mates
Loosing track of the time

I can't be the only one not cut out for racing…..surely??

+1 I don't race… it's all about the fun

Just coz it's a race don't mean it's not fun.I'm buzzing about Saturdays race, I'd sell a kidney to just race, I start getting giddy by Wednesday can't say I feel that way about a regular Sunday ride. Though after a days racing it's very nice to chill with buddies.

I'm not riding at all yet again this weekend, but there's no reason racing can't be great fun – two of the most fun things I have done on a bike were the Kielder Avalanche Enduro and the Megavalanche. And I'm really not very competitive.
