Spring has (supposedly) sprung upon us. Yesterday was Easter. So this is supposed to be a time of renewal--or, at least, to shake off my midlife crisis.
So I decided to take on a new sport. Actually, I made up my mind to, finally, take a go at one of the few areas of cycling I'd never before tried.
No, I'm not doing a biathlon or ice-fishing on my bike. What I'm doing, instead, is something I always said I was "too old" to do, mainly because by the time I'd heard about it, I was already older than most of the cyclists involved in it.
I'm talking, of course, about BMX racing. If this is how I resolve my midlife crisis, I figure it's better than being a "cougar" or buying a red sport convertible (which I couldn't afford, even if i wanted it).
So far, my decision is working out well. I already have my first commercial endorsement:
Coming soon to a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes near you.
