Actually, I would say:

Grammar first, then ride, ride ride. Grammar will benefit you much more in the long run than riding.:thumbsup:

especially when writing to potential sponsors!

Sounds like you are on the right track already. Go do a few races and see how it goes. Stiffer competition and "usually" double the distance = more fun!:thumbsup:

I also hopped up; to 4 laps, and got my ass kicked last sunday (11 mins from 1st place, with 4, 5 mile laps). I took it easy most of the time, since my endurance was doubtful. I finished strong though, and when I looked at the guys I raced with, at the end, two were my age and the rest were older.

I've improved a lot over the last 8 months, following Friel and training "seriously."

ya thanks guys, my 1st CAT.2 race i finished 11th out of around 25 riders. my enduro does need worked on and i am but do any of u know what works best during a race for fuel? i used powerbar gels and other ideas? well thanks to everyone for the tips, and sorry about my spelling/grammer
~THANK YOU~

Good job man, 11th out of 25 is a good result for your first race in a higher cat. Im 16 and in my first year of racing cat 1, 17 18 so ive experienced first hand the value of getting your ass handed to you a few times. As long as you like the power bar gels keep eating them, the important thing is that you are actually eating during the race.
