I wanna race
I'm 20 years old, and over the last year have really fell in love with cycling as well as being a bike mechanic. I have played sports my entire life, and am currently a D1 athlete. I have always been super competitive. But now, I want to do something new. I want to race bikes. Any advice?
I live in central North Carolina. I have tried to look for local crits, but none are road based (which is what I want to do). How do I find a race, or even a team to train with? I am pretty athletic, about 200lbs and highly muscular, and really want to find something to do with competitive cycling. Of course I have a ling ways to go, but it seems seriously fun to me.
Thanks!
