I'm so embarressed. You've discovered who I really am. You're right, I'm not a pro. I'm a phony...a big fat phony. Don't hurt me. I'm a sensitive creature who cries at night because mommy didn't breast feed me .

I rub peanutbutter on my balls every thursday night so my dog will lick it off . I'm really loving these icons. Also in my spare time, I tie mice to balloons and watch them fly away. Ahhhhh the messed up mind of a cyclist. I just realized that I'm gonna have to answer to a lot of questions at the races if anyone finds out who I am.

Lightbulb Re: how old is too old to train to go pro?

Hey after reading enough replies to made the gears in my head spin, I can only say... Why not dedicate your life to helping others make the realization of who they are and what direction they should be headed in? Help the young aspiring cyclists in your area, say, through a cycling club. You are at an age where enrolling in college courses and setting your sights on a sports science degree is not an unreasonable decision. Watch the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life" and see what one person can contribute to the future of happiness within his community.


So don't get all caught up with feeling down about your age and the whole "Gotta be Pro" thing... I say to be the legend... Give back what you can and stand tall throughout it all. The help wanted sign is always looking for true "Role Models". This is your time. Stay Focused and step up. Be One!

We @ CProgression wish you much success. Reply here with your story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqbgDPgpg6g
