FW: suggestions for beginner racer?

Demian Godon

2001-02-06

On top of all the great suggestions already posted, you should consider

joining a club/team if you haven't already done so. Besides the training

support, you'll have a team to work with at the races which adds to the

fun.

I would like to second Julianna's request. I raced most of the

cross

 series last year and as my first racing experience I appreciated

the

 inclusiveness of the event. It was very easy for us racing

beginners to

 get involved (with a little encouragement from our friends!).



Now I'd like to explore more racing venues and am also looking for

either

 road or mt. bike events that would be good for a beginning masters

age

 racer. This might be a good thing to post to the board as I'm sure

there

 must be others out there wondering the same thing. Thanks to

anyone who

 can help!

Sorry, Candi, this should have been sent to the whole list...



This is my first (road) racing season, and I'm looking for advice

and

 suggestions as to which races to start with and which ones to

avoid. I

 have the schedule, but don't know the reputation of the races.

Any advice

 would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
