The 10 Most Important Tips For Cycling

[RoadRaven]

Glad this was useful bikerINco... and welcome to the forum
Like Trek, I'm curious if you road race... and if so what type? Cri, TT, Bunch...?

I'm fairly new to it all, but it is def one of my goals to be competitive in at least club champs, and maybe if I have any talent (undecided as yet) a little competitive at nationals in my age group

There seems to be a lot of talk here about MtBiking and endurance rides (such as charity or to cycling to/from work) but not a lot of discussion around races.

Of course, as soon as I get brave enough to join races I'll be starting some threads, but am always interested to hear what other women are doing.

thanks for the great welcome. i live in steamboat colorado. i have been mountain bike racing for 3 years now. the 1st two years were mainly in our local series. the competition is tough, but all of the women are really nice and cool. now i have been racing a bit more around CO and plan to do some NORBA races. i race in the expert category in our town races and race in the Sport class in the larger races.

used to live in NYC, and did some charity rides. i also communted into the city so i got some time on my bike. Moved to Colorado for a lifestyle change. funny how things go...

i have a 12 hour race that i'm doing with a friend this weekend. wish me luck!! each lap will climb 2100 feet. YUCK!!

LOL biker... I read for a sec that you lived in (on) a (real) steamboat in Colarado! Then I reread and realised that Steamboat is a place! The USA has the greatestnames for towns!

Will be thinking of you for the big ride - always impressed by women who do climbing races - I'm still so very slow.
