Thanks guys for the encouragement. It definitely helps. I am very comfortable in the corners. Before I got into cycling, I used to road race cars. So I understand how to take corners fast and how to trust the rubber your riding on. Also, on sundays I do a group training ride. We do a 25 mile ride with 5 sprint zones that are 1km. So we practice strategy in sprinting. The rest of the time, we practice paceline riding. Its a lot of fun and I've learned a lot from it.
I think what I need to do is build a really good base and eat a little healthier. Later today, after the training ride, I'm going to take a look at the training bible. I have a copy, I just havent gotten a chance to read it yet. I've been really busy this summer. I got married and I quit my job and I'm going back to school. Thank goodness for sugar-mommas.
Again, thanks guys.
