My Lad races BMX and I got board (and cold) watching him during the coaching sessions, so got involved used one of the club bikes and joined in.
Now at the grand age of 39 I have my own Crusier, a British cycling race licence and placed 3rd in the regional winter series. !!!
Ridiculous fun on the track, really good for fitness, its all sprints and out of the saddle so I have dropped a jeans size over the winter.
overall bike skills have improved learnt how to jump and am now getting the hang of manualing.
and I can’t wait to hit some technical trails to see if I;m better on my mountain bike and overall more aggressive.
