Looks like you are ahead of most any kids who play soccer, football, basketball, volleyball, golf, etc since they pay for equipment and clothing.
Curious how frequently your development team rides- both training and races.
-Yes that is true, but football and high school sports cost much less than competitive cycling. Our team trains 6 days a week together and 1 recovery day we complete solo. During a normal year’s racing season we will compete in one track cycling event and 1-2 criteriums/road races per week. This year though there are much less criteriums so I am finding myself only doing 6-7 crits this year, but still doing about 2 track events per week.
