At 28 riding seriously. I said what the hell. I got no job. Graduated from College a bit over a year. Still recovering from my relationship. Well, got a real road bike and hoping to change my life. It sure did. I got a job a month after. Reading up on road bike on the web. Got involved in a recreational club. Got banned from it within a year because they though I couldn't ride my bike safely. I basically screwed them and left. Got into the racing. Been 2 years now. A cat 4. And I make the club to kiss my ass.
Not bad.
