As a guy who always thinks about doing stuff like this just to do something, I usually back out because as
@pooriggy said, I’m busy AF. I don’t care if I DFL but to add more to the plate and try to squeeze out a full day for a few hours of racing it’s tough.
Events I can dig. I’m not going to necessarily bury myself and I can get in a supported ride. Burning any more of my candle isn’t what I’m looking for. Escape I’ll take, blowing myself up, no thanks. It doesn’t have to be easy, just don’t want to line up to blow up. I can plan events way out too. I already know when the Century for the Cure is. It’s planned like a wedding. I can plan around it with the whole fam.
Race series sound fun honestly, and I would love to be fit enough to do one, but a block of weekends week after week won’t work for me. I’d be like a another child vs the other parent when it comes to commitments.
When my kids are more independent I’m sure that will change but then I’ll be like
