Life as a teenager

Hi,

A friend and myself have decided to start a new blog that covers life as two teenage cyclists trying to make their way into racing. Everything from kit to trying to wake up in the morning is covered. In our quest to try and fit racing and training into education and work, we'll post reviews of everything we find, hints tips and tricks.

Worth checking out just for the quality stories of falling off.

Thanks.

Since it's a new blog, any advice/questions given would be highly appreciated.

    Nice stuff. Not a teenager any more, but I still enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

    We will be, Leech. I've only done one race this year due to injury and balancing college requirements. But that's what the blog is all about.

    Thanks for the follow. ;)

    You should come to one of the social rides, they're really good for new comers.

    Will be great practice for life skills if you ever get a job. Looks just like my pre-bed routine, never mind early morning spin.

    A new piece will be up about 1pm tomorrow. Here's a sneak peak from it ;)
    This meant a loud outburst of "what the **** are you two doing", meaning the whole class turned their attention to this girl who was feeling my calves.

    I'll let you think of what the topic of the post is :D

    Loving it.

    I had been thinking of doing something similar, but it would be a blog about getting back into cycling, getting fit and hopefully losing some weight in the process.

    You may just have given me the inspiration to do a blog. Is that what the wordpress account is, your own blogspace?

    Wordpress allows you to create differant pages, and also the ability to use blogs. Register and play around a bit.

    Also, a new post is up about shaving legs as a teenager :)

    "The first person to pick up my freshly shaven legs was the girl I sat next to. She noticed straight away, don’t ask why she takes notice on my legs. .... It got a bit weird when she asked if she could feel my legs, I consented mainly because she is quite hot ."

    Erm, I wasn't there but I think you're missing a trick here... The door was wiiiide open...

    "She had a creepy look in her eyes when she was feeling them, and I thought I was about to be violated, so pulled away."

    Call yourself a teenager! You have much to learn...

    And +1 to Headhuunter

    Ooo, only just saw you post. I certainly didn't want to be violated from that girl!

    Anyway, next blog piece about the 2011 Dunwich Dynamo.

    Ant doesn't have the best of luck with the ladies, unfortunately.

    I'm taking the reigns again tomorrow and I'll be writing something again, not sure what on, but there'll be something.

    I think he has more luck than he thinks he has! I don't remember anyone asking to feel my legs when I was a teen.... Perhaps I shoulda shaved them...

    Maybe his latest post reveals something about him and his lack of luck. His taste in music.

    Me and Adam had a chance to get 2 hours track time on Donington Park last night. Was amazing.
