I think it is awesome whenever anyone starts to ride and they increase there kms they do. When i heard a guy said that he'd ridden 10,000kms on his bike in the 2.5yrs he had it i thought ohh my gosh that is a lot of kms to ride, but in less than 1 year since i have started i have done over 8,500kms.

My proud moment came on the weekend when i competed in my first major track cycling competition. i had to race australian champions (also place 4th at worlds) another lady that was world masters champion and world record holder another lady that competed at national level. in one of my handicap races i heard the commentator saying that the world masters chamption was coming up the outside of me and i managed to kick and hold her off to the line, so i beat the world champion and then in my next race i managed to eliminated both the world champion and the national champion to get 2nd place. i had only been racing track for about 2 and a half months. in the other races they only got away from my in the last half a lap and i only finished about 15 metres behind them. one of the ppl asked how long i had been racing and i told her and she was speechless. All these ppl were riding track bikes that were at least $5 or $6000 worth and i was riding a 20 yr old bike that i have borrowed just to see if i liked to race track. I love track and i ordered a biek but it didn't turn up in time

I also got to meet an olympian
