Terrific story of going out and doing what you wish if no one tells you "No." Imagine: racing against pros on Grecian roads (and elsewhere across Europe) as nothing more than an eager, talented amateur.

Tour of the Gila is the most exotic of the remaining US pro stage races and really worth a visit for any avid cyclist. Plus you can actually race it too (there's men/women categories, even Cat 5). We camped (Mogollon) and AirBnB'd it (Pinos Altos) in 2015 and it's spectacular, desolate and welcoming all rolled into one fascinating experience. https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-of-the-gila/2023/stage-1

While this is an article on junior cyclocross, it translates well to road racing and, frankly, most sport and a successful life in general. In our first road race outside Santa Barbara, and later at our first stage race in Murrieta, everything was new and strange and moving at hyper speed it seemed. We focused on our bubble, what we could control, observing the cacophony along its perimeter and making minuscule adjustments constantly to maintain progress to our goal: winning or--short of that--highest placement possible. It was exhilarating and liberating and wildly intense from start to finish and we always embraced every moment of it, despite making podium only once in dozens of races.
We encourage this approach to racing.
