This is a friend of mine, he won the State road Champ this year... His first big title... This was a title I wanted a few years back, before my life became a pile of market stress... and I stopped riding my bike all the time...
I just want to mention what the life of a cyclist is like... Your average weekend warrior rides about 4 hours a week, maybe 2 rides during the week and a big ride on the weekend.
Your standard Semi Pro rides 200-400 miles a week. Riding 6 days with One Easy day, 2 days to build stregnth, one day to build endurance, and one day to "Put the Petal to the Metal." and it takes about 20 hours per week...
Now your average "Pro" rides 400 miles per week, and Literally Eats, sleeps, Rides.. .and maybe has 20 free hours per week.. the rest of the time is spent... rebuilding, and healing... and crying in the shower.....
The human body does a 3 week cycle, so you do a bit over 2 weeks of building then you have to have a Rest week....
Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. You can't be stupid enough to trade off anything I say.... I'm lucky they let me out of the straight-jacket long enough to trade.
