I have a friend, who is a BMX Racer. She has been trying to get me out to the track for some time now. And I finally went. I had a good excuse for not going earlier, as some of you may remember, I had two broken wrists at the end of last year. I broke them in September, and didn’t get my last cast off until the very end of November. And of course, with casts on for that long, rehab had to take place before I could really do anything strenuous with them. So now that I feel like they have enough strength, I decided to go to the track.

I had such a blast riding around the track, I am seriously thinking of buying a bike and starting to ride regularly. I think it would be a lot of fun, and hey, it’s exercise, and you can’t really go wrong with that! Her brother is quite good, currently ranked 1st in the world in his age category. Not to mention that he is sponsored by Redline, a big name bike company, and Oakley, which I’m sure all of you know that company. My friend herself isn’t half bad either, she races in the pro category, and is currently at a race in Phoenix, where she is earning points towards sending Canadian Riders to the Olympics for this summer games. So, I think I am in good hands for starting out, and hope that I will be able to race a few times over the next little while.
