N2 NJMP - Session 2 - 10:40AM (First Intermediate Session) 7/20/26

Walking onto pit lane for my first Intermediate session was a mix of excitement and respect. I could definitely feel the butterflies. Within the first lap it became obvious that this was a completely different environment. The pace was much higher. The riders were incredibly smooth. Passing became much more difficult—not because people were blocking, but because everyone was simply riding faster. And honestly... That was exactly what I wanted. Instead of focusing on passing, my attention shifted toward learning. With much less traffic than in the Novice group, I finally had the opportunity to concentrate on my body position, racing lines, braking points, and corner timing without constantly worrying about traffic. It was a challenging session, but probably one of the biggest learning experiences I've had so far.
