Your odds of dying are still greater driving to a race in a car (42,000
annually, +/-) than they are of dying in a race.
If you are into taking risks, quit racing and drive your car around all the
time!
Otherwise, brush up on your skills, train hard, and realize that nothing any
of us can do will prevent all crashes.
And for the record, I?m still convinced mountain bike racing is safer than
road racing. How often do you see one person eat it so hard in a mountain
bike race that they take out four other riders? If you don't pay attention
in a mountain bike race, you'll get your clock cleaned for sure, but you
probably won't send any other riders home in an ambulance.
Bones heal, chicks dig scars, and bike racing is fun. I?m paraphrasing Bart
Simpson, forgive me if I stray a little from the original.
See you at the races!
Evan
