3. Sense of Accomplishment
Finishing your first off-road race delivers the same sense of satisfaction as finishing a marathon or other athletic endurance event. In most cases, the promoters will hand out pins to commemorate your finish, and believe us when we say that we still have every one of ours. That little pin says that you set out and completed your goal of enduring a lot of tough riding to make it to the finish line. And if you should be fast and/or fortunate enough to earn a trophy in your class, so much the better.
