Like Eden said - your age is ideal for elite cyclists - late 20's and early 30's is when cyclists tend to peak in their strength and ability - so, depending on your genes and your committment to training and your attitude... you might go far in racing.
As for age?
Well. I am 42. I hopped back on a bike (not having ridden since I was 18) in 2003 and did a 10km funride with my son and 2 nieces.
In October 2004, I started riding several times a week - 10km here and there... and grew to like it and started to ride more in 2005.
In March 2006 I went to my first Club race (aged 40), liked it and joined.
This year I have been riding up a grade and came 3rd in the vet (aged 35+) women's TT in the our Club Champs.
In 2008 I am going to get a licence which allows me to race with other clubs, and my plan is to ride at national level (in my grade) by 2010 (but hopefully 2009).
As I said - I'm 42. So I guess you are not too old to start racing
Enjoy, girlPP... once its in your system, racing is addictive...

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
