Just a hello

posted 8 months ago | Report

Hi all, just thought a pop in a quick hi while I'm browsing around DM.

I started racing motocross at when I was 8 and after 10 years of fairly intense training I got into the general 'teenage distractions'.... (we'll leave that there... =) ).

Now at the ripening age of 30 and starting motocross again - I'm feeling the effects of smoking and no exercise over the last 12 years - heavily.
So, I've not had a cigarette since the end of July and looking at my nutritional intake. I'm Racing or practising most weekends and just received my new road bike for daily fitness training.

This road riding lark has grabbed me with quite a side swipe - I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy it, coming from an off-road racing background, but the competitive streak is always prominent and I'm forever wanting to outdo myself.

Anyway, I'm happy to have found DM to log my progress and help with my motivation.
Thanks to all or making it what it is - an inspiration.

That's me,
Kev.

  • Hey Kev,

    Glad to hear you are taking up cycling. Maybe you should look into mountain biking too!

  • Hi Ray,

    I am looking into mountain biking as an off season play thing to keep in the mud - but until finances ease up asphalt's all I have =)
