well from my experience the absolute most important part of your training is to get a good strong base. all of ur riding from october to february should be long base miles. as far as specific training for the points races, it really depends on what kind of points racer you are. I am more of a...

if u want to be really good you have to train everyday, and do double workouts 2-3 times a week

im thinking aboot building a 9 foot giraffe uni. i think i should be able to use a bicycle bottom bracket/seat tube, and im guessing with the right steel i could flatten out the tubing at the bottom to form the dropouts. does anybody know if this will work, or have any other ideas to make the...
