THE BEST BIKE IS AN OLD TRACK BIKE
AFTER YEARS OF OFFICE-PARK CRITERIUMS AND FAST-PACED TWILIGHT races, where the streets are lined with barricades and partying spectators, I finally accomplished my long-term goal of reaching Cat 1 status as a road racer. And yet I found myself further from cycling glory than at any point in my nearly decade of competing.
