Ah, the sweet siren song of payday echoed through my life today, and what did I do? I marched right out and renewed my racing license. The quest for sponsorships this year? A resounding echo of crickets, my friends. So, here I am, flying the flag for Team Solo (a.k.a., the self-sponsored warrior).
In a valiant effort to stretch those dollars, I scoured the earth for the most wallet-friendly racing jersey known to mankind. And voila, to your right, behold the glorious ensemble. Found a steal on Price Point for a cool 30 bucks (link omitted—still a bit salty they ghosted my heartfelt sponsorship plea).
And let’s not overlook the pièce de résistance—the team bottoms, also courtesy of Price Point. Yes, my derrière will be gracing the most budget-friendly piece of fabric out there. Fingers crossed my backside outlasts the durability of these bottoms. On the bright side, racing results under USA Cycling will list me as Un-Attached, a fancy way of saying I’m flying solo without any team or club ties. A shoutout to all the underdog racers out there—surely we deserve a discount on these license fees, right? If only that $90 fee hadn’t been a barrier, I might’ve joined a bike club instead.
But hey, no use crying over spent cash. The season is upon us, folks! So here’s to the thrill of the race. Bring it on—the track awaits us!
On this day in history, Back in the mystical land of ’04, I found myself perched on the edge of destiny, with the “2004 EFTA Race Schedule” in hand. Picture me, wide-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to etch my name onto the unforgiving terrain of cycling lore..
