Hi all!
Firstly I'm Mark and I'm 27 from UK/England/Oxford.
I've always been into bikes from a young age. At first it was just standard mountain bikes and then from about 14 i got into downhill riding and went from a hardtail to a full sus and i loved it but got a bit tired of it as there's not too many places around Oxfordshire to ride a full sus. Then i got into Trials bikes and have since got married and had a little one so don't have much time for it now.
Anyway I'd like to get a road bike with eventually leading up to racing. Am i too late for training to race?
Can anyone throw some advice or show me some race rules or how they work?
It's all a bit random I know but I just feel like it's time
Also can anyone advise on a good starter/competition road bike?
Thanks
Mark
