I am a new cyclist. I don't want to develop bad habits that will have to be fixed later. I'd rather start off correctly. I would LOVE to race! I think working with someone on a temporary basis would get me where I want to be by next Spring. And, it would add a little accountability.......do what he says or it's a waste of money!

My family doesn't think I need to be spending money on a hobby. My husband and kids think I am nuts for even wanting to ride a bike. I don't care.........I'm hooked! They have school sports, and little league, youth football.............I have cycling! That is the way I look at it!

Thanks for answering.....I am going to talk to some area coaches and find something that fits in with my plan!
