The year 2014 has thought me a lot. To improve in the next year I will need to change a few things, diet, sleeping habits and training smarter. On the road things are looking good. The team sponsor will allow us to race their bike one more season. On the track Cinelli is working with me and they support me as much as they can. I'm please with the overall results this year. In 2013 I did not know how much hard work and determination would bring me so far so fast. Looking forward to the 2015 road and track season.
I'm officially done racing for the season. NowI'm concentrating in getting stronger and ridding easy. Soon the team will start their preseason rides for endurance. We will work on strategy and discuss what the new season will bring.
2013 Season
Objective: This 2013 my goal is to learn all rules and regulation of track and road cycling and to learn to be a successful rider and a team member. To participate in events locally and to take trips to special events.
My track bike is used daily for training, if not on the track then warming up on the rollers at home. The road bike is used primarily to gain endurance for the long track events. Eventually I will join my team and help them on road races. The coach will let me know when the time comes for me to join the road team.
Outside the track and road cycling I enjoy teaching and getting other kids my age join a healthy challenging sport.

I keep practicing with the Encino Velo Cycling Club on regular basis at the track every Tuesday and on the road whenever possible. My skills and strategy keeps improving and my confidence level keeps growing with every race and every practice. My goal for 2014 is to improve and be in the winner circle.
