Start Cycling Today


At the finish of my first major race.

                                                                   

      
We all know exercise can be tedious and un-exiting, whether you are an active sports person or like me, just a recreational sports person. I myself find it difficult to go to gym or even jogging around the block, because there is never enough time for full on training programs in our busy lives. I don’t like it purely because it’s not fun, there’s no scenery and people do not really strike up a conversation with each other, when exercising.   
A work colleague introduced me to the world of cycling, I thought to myself that this will be another endless money pit and then I will outgrow it quickly, but I was in for a surprise.
I borrowed a bicycle from someone to go for a few rides on weekends and to my surprise I kind of enjoyed it. It was not as tiring as running, not as boring as a gym full of sweaty people trying to get fit and it was easy, really easy. I noticed scenery that I never noticed before. Needles to say I now am an avid cyclist, doing cycle races every other weekend.
I am by no means very competitive, I do it to push myself to new boundaries. So I started looking into the cycling world and found many articles of self helps to improve your cycling times, what to eat, how to set up your bicycle and what bicycle to buy. All this got me confused and frustrated because all differed in some way.
I started trying a lot advice I got from e-books I purchased, some worked and some didn’t, some even made riding my bicycle very uncomfortable. After quite a few hits and misses, I came across a new way of thinking about cycling. It is not all about what bicycle you have, what diet you are on and how much you cycle. Sure all of that can play a part in making you a better rider but the best way I found was to RIDE SMARTER not more.  My cycling performance increased dramatically when I started to understand that on bike training, is just as important as off the bike training.
So I went from just doing it to stay fit, to having fun and being not half bad at it. All this because of  easy to follow cycling training programs that has changed the way I cycle completely. I am not the only one that discovered these great programs:
These programs have produced:

•Selection for two Olympic Games
•Three Commonwealth Games (3 medals)
•Selection for Eight World Championships
•Winners of 8 National titles
•Holders of 18 National Records
•24 National Championship Medals
•Competition in 24 World Cup Events
•15 years of Professional Racing
•Coaching of the Australian National Team
I tried it because there is no risk. I felt like these programs were designed specifically for my busy lifestyle and needs. I am confident that it will do the same for you. Click here to see what I am on about and start riding smarter and faster.
If that is too hard core, you are a recreational cyclist and want to stay one, have a look at these as well. These training programs will make it an even more pleasurable experience, without the extensive training hours.  It worked for me, it will definitely work for you.
See you on the road.
