A few days ago, I made a bold decision to go up a category into varsity. The crazy part about varsity is that the riders are so good, that they can stick with some pros when racing and they can compete at the national level. My decision to cat up was based on the fact that the JV races are super short and that I can get a better long term improvement by moving up early. I am expecting maybe 20th place out of 22, so my expectations are pretty low. I am very excited about moving up and I think that it'll be lots of fun. My first varsity race is the day that I am writing this post, April 19th. I will follow up with more info after the race.
Post race: Racing varsity was a great experience. I wasn't fast enough to keep up with the front group, yet I was able to race around the middle of the pack. It was very hard, and someday I hope that I will be able to ride towards the front.
