JOINING THE CYCLING TEAM
My roommate and I are best friends and we do everything together. We joined the cycling team. I always loved to bike. I read Lance Armstrong’s book last year. I was like wow you could bike for a week long straight, meet all kinds of interesting people, and make money for such good causes. I am going to save up and get a bike. I came back to school with a bike but thought where do I go? I don’t know any trails. I don’t want to get lost in N.H. I saw on line that we have a cycling team. They train for decathlons too. So I went to the meeting and joined. Since it is club, it is less time. I wanted to learn something different, to have a new experience. It is still a time commitment but it is much more relaxed and it is enjoyable. I still miss lacrosse. I have a passion for that sport but it was the right decision.
