Terrible write-up. Painfully boring and drawn-out. A total waste of my time.





Just thought I'd go against the status quo.

Keep it coming.

It is gold.
Thanks a lot! I'm going to e-mail both of them directly to Nick Ienatsch, who still writes for Cycle World. I think they're probably a bit long, but who knows? Anyway, thanks again for the kind words.

Thanks. I asked them about that today. The pro school doesn't deal with any street stuff at all (like some of our emergency braking drills and so on, which are good for both track and street). They also focus more on starts, passing, blocking, and so on.

Don't mind at all, and nothing to be nervous about - just excited! They'll take great care of you.
