I'ts interesting to see how many of us are cyclists as well. Just a couple of random points. That most everyone already knows.

I'll be 50 this year and if you train with discipline and consistency you can still improve even at my age.

It takes at least a few years of steady training (10-15hours a week) before your body really adapts to the idea and you can start to understand what you are really capable of.

Train with people faster than you.

Don't make every ride a hard ride.

When purchasing equipment always go for reliability over light weight.

No matter what non-cyclists may think, a decent road bike costs at least $2000. At thats on the low end of decent.

Drink plenty of water.

Get plenty of calories while on longer rides

Get plenty of rest.

Fixed gears rule!!!!!!
