  • If you would never ride without proudly wearing your full team kit.

  • If you introduce yourself and tell people you are a ‘bike racer’ right after you tell them your work role.
  • If you race in some races you don’t even like to help your team mates.
  • If you have ever sprinted for a $10.00 preme.
  • If you train when you are hurt.

  • If you have more anxiety when you do not train and race than when you do.
  • If bike racing is your favorite past time.
  • If you can ride for a hour in drops and feel comfortable.
  • If you practice sprinting often.  
  • If you look at Results and Rankings in USA Cycling once a month to see how you are ranked.
  • If you look in USA Cycling to see who is signed up for the next race. 
  • If you can spot most of the contenders when go to the line.
  • If you think about when you will attack in the upcoming race and then you do attack.
  • If you have a good time in a race when you finish 24th.
  • If racing means more than winning.
  • If your team winning means more than you winning.
  • If you have a training plan.
  • If you have race goals.
  • If you think you are a bike racer.
