I train everyday and i hate to miss a day , i like to stay around 250 plus miles a week not counting commute , ill usualy ride back home from my races im not doing an extra amount of racing just doing it to do it , not many road races in my area lots of cx . my bike is not so great but i can finish like 60s out of 100 there is usually 100 guys in the field if not more . lots of chaos at the starts lol . i dont like the mud at all i cant even ride through it , i just run it .
