Dear bike-colleagues, I'm an italian rider (27yo) and I think next year I'll come to your country to do some job there (I think for 2-3 years... I'm a phd in chemistry, now I've some contacts in your country and I'll have to come there to do some "job interviews" in the very next week...).
I know that down there in england it's quite (ehm) rainy... well ok, but is there a national federation of cycling organising amateur racing? or it's all mess-up with elite races? (In Italy the two things are strictly differentiated) Are there amateur races...? in which period?
Well, thinking again about this I don't really know if I'll be able (I'll be working in a company...) to do "the rider's life", that is, racing every saturday+sunday + at least 2 hours on tue / wed / thu... here in Italy (this year) I did about 50 races from feb to oct, but training during the week was a bit difficult (from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning... being a bit flexible).
How do you solve this problem? Do you train early in the morning too?
