If I'm honest this weekend kind of sucked. The riding wasn't worth the destination. 7.5hr drive made into an 11hr drive. The racing was just alright. Didn't get to practice because of a destroyed bottom bracket that was a result of incorrect assembly on my part. Then minutes after this picture a FAT crack in the frame from a rock off the front wheel.
I guess I just really don't think racing bikes is worth it at this level.

just ride to have fun. Its easier when you stop giving a shit about anyting like race results and just have fun. I was super stoked to race fontana and none of my friends could ever go on sunday so i raced by myself 3 times... crashed every time and had to drive myself home an hour and a half bloody and broken. but it was fun because i didnt give a shit and gooned the hell outa that venue. If you aint having fun you aint doing it right

I ride to have fun. I ride knowing I can & will place mid pack so thats fine.
When I break bicycle parts and triple the cost of my trip... That's pretty much a good reason to not do it anymore. At some point it's not luck. Its something else. Whatever, just glad I'm not breaking bones I guess. Silver lining.

Dude, im so sorry. I know how downing it could be and i totally understand where you're coming from. Its really up to you whether you carry on riding, or racing however its definitely not something i'd give up on especially with the level of riding ability you sustain. Wish you all the best bud. Dont be too hard on yourself, after all, your scrooge mcduck...
