And, just like that, one of the most unique racing experiences I’ve ever encountered is back up and prepping for a new season.
Back in October, I had the privilege of attending Royal Enfield’s event for their Super Meteor 650, meeting a fantastic plethora of personalities along the way.
Today, I understand these diverse dispositions to be a part of the Royal Enfield company itself, and it’s all the more reason to be excited for this year’s Build. Train. Race. (BTR) program.

What is Build. Train. Race. (BTR)?
Speaking candidly, BTR is a racing series geared toward women who build bikes to race, train on them to race, and then race in a chosen, dedicated series. The efforts are the brainchild of founder and Royal Enfield Concept Design aficionado Adrian Sellers, who has had a strong influence on the program’s success from the very beginning.
Here is an excerpt from the interview I had the pleasure of recording while at Super Meteor’s “Pure Cruising” event:

According to the recent information from Royal Enfield, BTR will debut March 7-8 at the Daytona International Speedway.
