Message: [QUOTE="Girlrider, post: 131406, member: 19703"] Reynome, You don't have to stay in the C class. 2 years ago at Boot Hill Shawn Stretch begged me to move up to B so she would have a better chance at winning the women's overall and I did. I did it at the hardest race of all that year and I loved it. And before I knew it I was winning trophy's again. I moved to A this year to challenge myself. Why do people ride to win a $5.00 trophy? I ride to get better and when I am with the A riders that is exactly what I do. "Everyone races the same rider. . . not the one beside them but the one inside them." Every race I come home with a trophy in some way or another. Most of the times it is just a HUGE smile knowing I would have beat most all the B riders and that I beat some of the A riders. That is what racing is all about. Only 1% of the population makes a living racing. As for the events and the promoters. My parents put on the Timberline Enduro for 21 years and called it quits because they could never meet everyones needs. It was time and money and no one was every happy. That is why I always thank the promoter before and after a race and when I am racing I don't complain because I know how much hard work they had to put into it. Sign up for B in New Mexico. You will probably love it! The RMEC will let you move up at ANYTIME but then you can't move back to C class and be scored. So you can move up. [/QUOTE]
