dont seriously think of doing it..DO IT. youll love it, when you get beat you strive for more, when you come close to winning you question why you didnt win, when you win, you get big headed, and when you crash......you suffer for weeks whilst the burnt damaged skin sticks to your bed sheets and stings in the shower. then sometimes, you almost kill yourself, and cant walk for weeks and have a smashed face.. BUT i promise its sooooooooo good,
Hillingdon currently has its winter season running, if you turn up, buy a day license amd pay in, wil cost about £20, you can give it a go.. or, look forward to it, start training, make sure you can ride fast for one hour, and sprint for 20 seconds(something to build upto) then you can enter tuesday series, where its warmer, and theres loads of beginners. At hillingdon around season start(marchish, theres races aimed for people that are brand new, thats where i started. look at the british cycling sight, or surreycycleleague and look at calender, or just wait for someone else to reply to this and tell you more.
i know i havent actually said much interesting, but ohwell....youll love it, all the argy bargy in the bunch!!! another acc rider, go get em.
ive developed permenant scares and injuries(some reoccuring from last year) but i continue to ride on!!!! oh, if you do get serious, insure the bike!!!
