Abstract

[...]some amateur cyclists will train upwards of twenty hours a week while maintaining full time jobs or class schedules. According to Kendra Wenzel in Bike Racing 101, “the absolute best part about cycling is that anyone, with the right amount of determination and motivation, can succeed.
