Hey everyone, I'm a n00b to the site, so here's my story. My name is Ryan McLeod, and I've been racing motocross in New England for 10 years. I started off racing when I was 16 years old in the 80 class. I slowly progressed thru the ranks and made it up to the B class in 2003. I've been about a mid-pack B rider since then with a few top 10s and top 5s here and there. Last year I did the whole New England Sports Committee spring series and wrapped up the season with an 8th overall in the 25+B class the amateur day at the Unadilla pro national. I've done it all from the local races in the back of a pickup truck, to the big events with the family in the motorhome and trailer. Here are some pics throughout my racing career:
1999 - Sick Shift baggy gear!
2001 - Rider Hill in Derby, VT
2002 - Top 5 C class rider that year.
2003 - Jumped up to the B class and raced the NEMX circuit.
2004 - Mostly just rode for fun this year after my dad passed away.
2005 - More of the same, and got my infamous graphics made up.
2006 - Got a real job and could afford to race again so I bought a new 250f and raced the local tracks.
2007 - Found a reliable racing buddy so we did a lot of racing that year bouncing around between circuits.
2008 - Did a lot of racing doing NESC, Unadilla and a local fair race which was a lot of fun!
Why no 2009 photos? Well I've decided to take a break from racing for a couple years. Why? Because I was kind of burned out last year physically and financially (thanks $4 gas!
) and because I'm trying to start my own business. Since I love motocross so much I am trying to work within the industry. I've recently started my own site (RenegadeMX.com) where I have discussion forums, photo galleries, videos and sell merchandise. I love designing T-shirts so I'm getting a bunch made up and I'm going to go to races and events and setup a booth and sell them. Here's one of my designs and is the main "Renegade" logo:
So that's pretty much my story. I will post up my race photos after each event as well as videos when I have time. I hope you've enjoyed this post as much as I did creating it. See you at an event soon!

If you are going to hit a race or 2 with NESC make it Middleboro. It's a whole new track and I hear it's awesome. I think I'll hit at least one for sure.
You ever head down to D34 tracks at all?
Welcome to Hell Ryan. haha
