This picture is going to cost us approximately $2575 and at least $320/month in gas alone October-March.
The equivalent of a typical race season for me I estimate.
Can't do both.
Reality check time.

Always chasing something or someone.
"Big Al"
I ride and used to race inspired by the memory of my step-dad Alvin Drake who succumbed to cancer in 2005. He was a lover of bikes and a staunch supporter of my racing.

Dude,
Get this in your head. 10-15 races/yr is OK. You can still still be fast, win and train with purpose. Get on the bike and pick your opportunities. Hell, it worked for Lance!
good call, get them kids out of hockey asap!
