Personally I like to eat and drink heavily for several weeks before a race, turn up in a state of utter confusion, have a terrible nights sleep and then drag my close-to-expiring carcass around the track while wondering whether I really should put the bride's mother next to the best man....

Can't say I'd ever really noticed any other riders on track!

some people make me sick! lol

with that kind of preparation you really should be where i am but you're too bloody quick!

for me definitely racing against certain people i want to be ahead of/not overtaken by. that happens to be around the 8th-12th places at the moment but i am hoping that will move up over time. not really for fun.

although not battling up the front or for podiums i am definitely racing; brought home to me at castle coombe when i stupidly threw away 4 places on the last lap just because i wanted to get in front of anthony. just could help myself trying to get in front. loved it though.

I try to balance as much adrenalin as possible for the longest time possible with as little blood lost as possible

So far the best event has been a 2-day meeting with 12 races, with 7 top-10 finishes in 1 day.
Thats on bikes that cost about 4-5k to build (ie similar budget to dd). I think it could cost me about the same again per bike to get placed higher and still maintain the aforesaid balance
