So euphoric about dropping by the BMX track

Well I made it out of the house... I was having second thoughts about showing up and not seeing anybody I knew and was generally anxious about being around a lot of people. Well that part is right, I was slightly a nervous wreck. Large crowds of people now make me nervous and I didn't take an extra klonopin.

Then I met two old bmx buds of mine, one of which I used to race over a decade ago in close competition in the 21-27 cruiser division - Jason. My bud Jason is 41 and my other bro Gary is 51 and works at our local bike shop.

Wow. What a pleasure to meet them both and tell them I'm back in Winchester for good. Jason even let me grab his cruiser and take a ride around and snap a few starts in the dirt parking lot. All I can say is his bike is setup to be like shot out of a cannon. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW FAST HIS BIKE ACCELERATED AND ALMOST GOT UP THE NERVE TO JUMP THE FIRST STEP UP - with his bike - tomorrow when we go for a ride in the morning. Man I had a blast. Now to figure a way to sell my mountain bike and get a cruiser. I *want* to race... I *need* to get back into it and race.

As I was talking with my bros they said hey if you want to get in shape just race locals for the next two years and then hit the nationals in the 40-45 cruiser group. They said the sooner you race the better you will be along with regular practice and yoga. Heck I need to get rid of this beer belly and stop drinking altogether. This sport can do it for me... this is what I've been missing. Just get a loaner full-face helmet and buy a chest protector you see on all the motocross guys and I'm set.

Simply euphoric and in ecstasy.
