im no good at crits either which is why you should come to NZ! all we have are road races and very few crits!
hopefully i will make it into a u.s. ameteur team when i am older , which is my dream
in the waikato region we have some real monster hills which is how i got good at them lol.

hi guys
im new here , but my name is Danyon Inwood
and i race under 17 (juniors) in new zealand.
i ride about 500 km (310m) a week.
last year was my first season of cycling, and i managed to win the national hillclimb and break my age group record
i also came second at my national road race and i am ranked 3rd overall nationally.
my races are mostly road races as new zealand is more suited to 30-40km road races then criteriums
i am currently riding my 1997 cannondale caad3-sr900 with shimano ultegra 8spd, which i have upgraded with a new carbon fork and alloy cockpit.
i am also building up a bianchi 928 l carbon racebike
which i am open to suggestions for parts on.
i am interested in bike mechanics and sport science.
so yeah thats me , after reading these post i feel like i kinda no all you guys already
and a lot of interesting stuff comes up.

Im 16 years old coming into 1st road season (did cyclocross a few moths ago) and I love it. I train 5 days a week 2 hours a day and am hoping for a top 3 finish in the DC, VA, MD bar standings. Hope the hard work pays off haha.

Wow. How'd you get into cycling? and 310m, how many hours do you do a week? That's some crazy stuff man, but you have real skill. How do you train and eat? I just want to know, because there are few like you, who are actually really good but do not have a specific training structure. Keep it up man, you're going to be an inspiration one day.
cheers mate
i got into cycling pretty much through neccesity, in year 10 i got a ride to school
with this kid and his parents, but some events occured that let to me pushing him over and stuffing him with leaves.
so no more freeriden...
dad told me that from now on i was findin my own way to skool so i dusted off his 12 speed.
after 6 months of that my friends(all cyclist) told me to give racing a go.
so 2010 was my first serious year and i ended up doin pretty well.
last year i didnt really have a plan but this year i do and i think i will do even better this year.
not sure of the hours i average about 30 during my 500km

Congrats headshock!
While I haven't been riding much lately, all the hard work in school has paid some dividends. I got all of my UCAS Offers, so if (when) MIT rejects me, I have St. Andrews to fall back on. Hardly a bad choice to have!

This weekend i raced In the Georgia Cup. Took 2nd place in juniors both days. For my first two races of the year I am pretty happy with the results. I did a lot of winter miles this year and devoted much more time to training and it showed.

Been trying to get my little brother to want to race - he's 14 this year. Is there much of a turnout for that bracket?
He's much happier mountain biking over road biking, though he enjoys both. I'm thrilled.

Hey guys. I race 17/18 in Southern California. This is my first year racing and I'm loving it. I hope to be a cat 3 by the end of the season. I just finished my first stage race. It was a blast.

Alex, if he's more thrilled about mountain biking he should race cross country.
I race cross country on a rigid single speed with all the old powerhouses. It's great fun, to be honest.
