Thanks Dan. Good luck with racing. Best way to get started is to get your license then use the usacycling.org site to find TT’s near in your area. I did a TT once, it’s pretty fun.

I love this post, Arlyn. I’m heavier than you, but our riding styles sound pretty similar. Like you, I can go all day. I would also like to get into some races this year, and am looking at some time trials to get my feet wet. And I’ve got you linked up on my blog now!

Sounds like a good plan. Mine isn’t as ambitious, for 2009 I just want to get through some road races. Next year I’ll focus on winning one

Hello there! My name is Myles, I’m a cyclist based in the Philippines. I got your link from Bike Node. I read your post about winning a race and I just wanted to wish you good luck and more power, you can do it! I had the same goal for 2008, and I got what I wanted about a month ago when I placed 6th in my age group and 13th overall in a 24 hour race. Well, I wanted to win it or place top three, but one thing I learned is that I’d have to be really hungry for a win to get the championship, maybe i’ll get it right next time. I trained about 4 months in advance, riding everyday except Mondays (which was my designated rest day). I did time trial rides every other day, and then hill climbs and sprints alternately. I also kept track of my times and distances and then rode long distance on Sundays.

All the best, and post pictures of your race!
