I'm another Riv rider who loves racing. I'm actually a co-organizer of the Canadian Cyclocross National Championships for the past two years, and also race the odd road race and (gasp) even a crit or two. Racing can be a LOT of fun. Not racing is super fun too. Point being, riding bikes rules, period.
