Hi I am Tom and I am 12 years old.
I love cycling!! And I want to keep track of my training, to see how I am doing.
Last year I did 6 races, I won 2 of them, came 6 in one, and came 4th in the others.
I only started training seriously when I told myself this was the sport I was good at, because I have always wanted to be a sportsman.
This year I have already done 3 races, in my 1st race I had a puncture and had to forfeit, in my second I came 3th in the under 14, in the one I did yesterday Icame 4th in the under 14 and the distance was 27km.
In Feburary 2010 I went to Lanzarote in this resort called Club la Santa with my family. Me and my dad did the bike training for 2 weeks and I did over 400km in 2 weeks (406km exactly).
It is also an opportunity to improve my english because I do all my school work in french because I live in France.
Just as good I have my dad to correct my writing. Because I am originally english.
Well done To. Your Great Aunt Janet still rides her bike round Banbury aged 70. She is much faster than me and leaves me far behind puffing and out of breath. She even overtakes much younger cyclists than she is. I think I will report her to the police for speeding!

This is a great idea Tom. Well done on your races so far 4th place is a very good result although I am sure you wanted higher it is still an extreamly good result. I would love to stay in touch with your racing and see and hear how you are getting on. Remember training isn't just on the bike never forget those all important stretches! try and stretch when you get up and just before you go to bed :) case in point I am off the bike for 1 month due to a pulled muscle! Remember to enjoy your cycling. If you enjoy it you will race better and achieve great things :)
