Everyone does have to start somewhere,
I am not coming from a background where competitive cycling was all around me like I’m sure it must have been for many of you and young people I saw at Herne Hill. I decided to go to HH because I am personally enthusiastic and want to get involved. Its not some natural development in my cycling career!
I would however be interested in joining a road club at some point – getting involved in the local cycling community at HH seems like a natural way to find out about what types of cycling are on offer to me.
I have a job and I have a full time degree these are my priorities. track cycling if it is going to become a part of my life needs to work around that.
Anyway the coach (I’ll drop the ‘nice old guy' – I was just trying to be descriptive) told me to come down so I will – I will talk to those on duty about my situation and wont be taking part if they or I think it is dangerous and irresponsible.
