I jumped back into racing after not racing while living in Germany for four years. My initial number was 662 (the last three digits of my membership number). I did not necessarily feel "ready" to race, but I didn't want to run 662 all of this year, so I jumped into a couple of races. My local track, Lone Star BMX, runs total points on Thursdays. Quite often there were four riders so you have to get top three to get more than rider points. Gating up against riders 20-40 years my junior caused some anxiety, but you can't let fear hold you back. Anyway, got a couple of scores in and ended up district #60.
