I just finished my annual compilation of the season racing results. For 2013 I participated in 15 road race events, the most I've done since 2006. This was at 15 different venues, again the most since '06. Three of these I had never been to before: NOLA (New Orleans), The Ridge (Shelton, Wa.), and NJMP (Millville, N.J.). Talladega (Alabama) and Sears Point (Ca.) were substantially altered since the last time I was there. I entered 60 individual races and started 57 of them, the most since 2005. I did this on 13 different bikes, the most since 2010, owned by 11 different people. I got 33 firsts, 11 seconds, 5 thirds, and 4 DNFs. One of those DNFs was a crash and one of the DNSs was a crash (on the warmup lap), and I had two practice crashes, one of which I'd call 'not my fault/being in the wrong place at the wrong time'. Four crashes in a season is considerably above the 2.5 crash/season I've had over the last 12 years, but fortunately I didn't get hurt in any of them and raced the same or next day after all of them.
In addition to these races, I did the Parades at the Classic TT(Manx GP), a couple of Tiddler Tours, the Fall Giro, and the Pewter run. 2013 has been a busy, successful and satisfying year.
