Step 1: Identify the problem
I don’t race enough - six or eight races a year. I reckon I need to be racing week in week out to get myself in the mix at the sharp end of a race.
I enjoy it a lot but >£25 is a fair whack for the privilege of pinning a number on and finishing consistently just outside the points.
£25 per race? Fuck, that's a bit rich!
I think it was ~$10 a race when I last rubbed elbows. When you can race each day of the week even that gets spendy. Plus the 200+/year race lic and all the other costs.
Oh road race or crit?
