Suggest you check out or join a local race club. Nothing better than a weekly race training session to get you up to speed and used to riding in a crit pack. You probably won't be able to hang with the pack for more than a few minutes at first, but if you don't get discouraged, you can make real progress before your first race.Nishiki09 said:i can do the last 2 of those drills but in florida we dont have downhill really except for bridges but theyre to short and not steep enough to hold 30 mph. In fact the fastest iv actually ever been on my bike was 30 mph. I just hope i dont cause a crash in the race so im just gonna take it easy and try to stay towards the back but still in the peleton. also do i need to register with USCF or wutever to enter a Cat 5? Thanks
Yeah, just go to http://www.usacycling.org/ and follow the links to get a licence. I don't want to scare you but Cat 5 Crits can be pretty rough and tumble especially as people start to get tired.Nishiki09 said:i can do the last 2 of those drills but in florida we dont have downhill really except for bridges but theyre to short and not steep enough to hold 30 mph.
