I'm thinking of starting cycling as a professional career. My ambition is to ride for a professional European cycling team (ONCE, USPS, CSC etc.)
I've just started a month ago. I'm 15, and I'm not sure whether its too late to start or not.
My main concern is my speed. My average is around 15mph, and I can keep that up for about 2 and a half hours. On the flatter stages of the TdF, they do it around 28mph for around 6 hours. I need some help achieving this.
The furthest I can ride is about 30 miles and I'm stuffed. How can I improve this (other then riding more, of course)
Any climbing tips?
What attire should I wear while riding?
Thanks in advance.
