The First Meet Of The Year

The first meet of the year does not need to be big. A few riders, a dry evening, and enough light to stand around the bikes can be plenty.

It reminds everyone that the season is coming back. People talk about plans, jobs still unfinished, kit they bought over winter, and rides they swear will happen this year. Half of it may be optimistic. That is allowed.

The first meet is less about turnout and more about momentum. It gets the scene moving again.
