can anyone comment on it. how serious is it? how many people go pro?
*note* im not saying i will be the next lance armstrong or jan ullrich. but i think that if i race and ride the next 5 years of my life (until i get out of college) i will have as good a chance as others to go pro.
as of next season ill probably be racing on a pro/am team around here, until i go to college, were i hope to race all 4 years. and of course, who wouldnt mind going pro after that, since most tour de france riders get about 180,000. obviously it would take time to make it to being a tour rider, but do any of you know the chances of going pro? i have the body of a climber (5'10", 137lbs, ~7% body fat) and this is riding a few times a week, today im starting to ride as much as i can until next season, hopefully reaching about 300-400 miles a week by the end of the year. hopefully.
