First off, my parents are cool with it.
I've been biking for a while. But cycling? As a sport? I'm about a month in. My rides are consistently averaging ~22kph. School is quickly coming to a close. I'm really enjoying exploring local routes and simply going places. I would love to enjoy the community too. I am certainly in no shape to race, but group rides seem like a good place to start. Potentially. I don't actually know any roadies anywhere close to my age. I don't really know where they are advertised, either. I would love some insight into these two things... Should I even bother looking, or would it simply be a bit too awkward being younger? Where would I even look?
