intro

Cycling is a sport where you can be young or old and male or female you can cycle near enough anywhere; back lanes, main roads, downhill, uphill, jumps, and mountain. If you’re in a race you will be encouraged on and the spectators will look after you. The marshals will direct you on where you go. The spectators are all lined in rows of 3 and 4 they are going up the hill and on the mud just waiting to encourage you on.    All you have to do is keep your rhythm the same all the race your adrenalin goes up. The night before I do a race is the worst night of the week cause you have butterflies and a bad stomach also you start getting nervous on your journey to the race then when your there you feel much more better after you’ve signed in and have your number then the race starts. Have you ever had that felling?

at the start off the race

The competiveness of a cycling race you got know the rules of a cycling race. You got conserve which means closing that gap, making the break, holding the wheel up that climb, responding to that attack or nailing that bunch sprint. Knowing your competition means, if the strongest five guys of the race decide to attack at the beginning of a 100km race and you know they have people working for them, then there’s a good chance you should make an early move with this group. Know the gap means, if you can see the break, watch for when they pass a landmark and time the gap from when the last rider passes it until the front of the peloton hits it.
