Phase 2…

Well it's all behind me now; year 12, exams, being a junior rider. I'm now officially a senior rider and it is time for me to decide where i want to be and go in this sport.

It's been a good 4 months since i was in full training, since then i have been on a forced break to focus all of my attention to year 12. It was a really tough desicion but i decided to do it and i am now 100% happy that i did it! It would have been a huge regret otherwise. Thanks to Gary for giving me some advice to stop, it really helped.

So now i am in the situation of looking towards the future. I know how hard it will be to get fit again, but i know that it is worth it. Today will be my first day on the bike for some time, but i'm excited.

This year i won't have too many expectations, i'm a first year U23 rider so have many years to come. What i want to do is prove myself that i can be there with the top riders, and get a feel for it for the years to come. I still have the dream to be a sprinter, it really excites me and my current physique now suits this.

Well I'm off to train. Feels weird to say that after an extended period off. I'll use this site to record all of my daily doings about my 2nd phase of my cycling career.

Ciao tutti,
Christos
