2nd child and quiting racing???
Come-on,
I have three kids - 2, 6 & 9. Wife, job, lots of home/family responsibilities and projects.
Racing age is 42 this year.
Now I race mostly MTB, but still should be able to fit around 6ish MTB races in a 5 or so road races. I have been training around 7-8 hours a week which is much higher than I normaly do....It's all about riding when it fits your family schedule best - I end up riding solo most of the time.
MTB - racing expert and podiumed most of all last yer
Road - racing cat 4/5 and will hold my own, but not breaking the top 10 yet (new to road racing)

krishna said:for the support. I'm not usually one to whine - reallyWhen I broke my back a few seasons ago, I took it pretty much in stride. I guess I'm just pissed because I'm finally back to my old form and I know I probably won't be able to race next year (2nd child)... plus I ain't getting any younger
Oh well, now I'm just crossing my fingers that there's enough bone left to do the pinning surgery. I'm so, like someone else mentioned, I could be back on the road in 6 wks or so.
If I can't, however, anyone want to buy a never used 2006 license - I'll sell at a discount
Cheers,
K
