With the road season already underway (and the barrs have a couple of races under their belts already), here are our tips on how to prepare for a road race.
3.On the morning of the race arrive to the sign on with plenty of time to spare. This will allow you to relax as you set up your bike and get changed. It will also give ample time for a warm up as well as ironing out any last minute mechanicals (which of course there won't be because you will have followed point 1!). 4.Enjoy the race! Racing is an exciting adrenaline rush and we allow our competitive juices take over. Follow your plan and race as well as you can. If you have the training done, then results are sure to follow!Road racing is possibly the purest form of cycling. It's a mix of strength, skill, brains, and a little bit of luck. If you are new to the sport it might take a while to get used to the dynamic of the bunch, the speeds, and the tactics of racing. After a few races you will begin to get more comfortable in the bunch and you will become more relaxed. Also be sure to ask your more experienced clubmates about the tactics of racing. Often it is the smartest wins the race, not the strongest!
