Personal History
Riding Goals
I did fairly well for my first year racing and am planning to step it up a bit this year. The trailrider class was a good class to start in but not a place I want to stay. This year I have entered the Sportsman class, the faster riders in this class should help me to improve my overall speed on the courses and gain some additional skills in the woods. My overall goal for the year is to end up with a top 10 overall finish in my class.
I currently maintain a small private track at my house, which allows me to ride pretty much anytime I want. One of my additional goals this year is to setup a better training schedule, and utilize my home track to built better speed and endurance.
Competitive Highlights
My first highlight would have to be entering the hare scramble race in Drexel, MO. This was my first race ever; my goals for the race were simple, start, race for 2 hours, and finish. I didn't walk away with any trophies, but I did achieve the goals I had set. That accomplishment pushed me to ride a little harder during the next race at Merwin, MO, where I ended up finishing 6th and getting my first trophy. Yeah it may be a small 6th place trophy, but it was my first and I will always be proud of it!
