as i told you, im 33, so i must be realistic with goals. with road biking im not really seeking to compete and race (but im also not against doing it), what i want to do is push my limits and just see how fast i can be. i really enjoy pushing myself and getting better. that feeling of reaching 3000mts above sea level on your bike at a good peace is great. but i know i can go further. so one of my ideas is to get a cyclocomputer with HR monitor and develope a serious training program for at least one year, maybe 2. then maybe cut it down to a more recreational way of riding, like im doing it now. that must be seen then of course. with the bmx i just want to get a bit better. but thats not compatible with road bike training mainly due to time. just need more riding on the bmx.
so heres one of my ideas and heres where i need your advice. to tell me if its a good or bad idea. or if you think theres a better aproach to my goals, or if you think i just need to kill one of these two sports. and by the way, (this may sound cliche) i just want to enjoy life and have good real experiences. i dont like doing things superficially. i like to really get into them.
i live in the southern hemisphere, so my seasons are the opposite of most of you guys. you guys are almost in summer, im almost in winter. another thing. winter is not really hard here, so i can pedal most of the year around, kind of like in california i think. just some rains here and there during winter.
