What I Believe

       I believe that hard work and practice equals success. If I want to fulfill my dream of being a pro cyclist I have to train and work hard to push myself to the limit in races. If I don't start now I might never get a chance. I have my biggest example to make me do these things and stay in shape for future events, that is Lance Armstrong. Lance is always on the bike riding or in the gym practicing keeping his fitness up. Having such a big example makes me live up to what I believe.
Maybe what I belive might encourage you to become more athletic.

My Cycling Career

My parents bought me my first Trek when I was three years old.  I learned quickly how to ride without training wheels.  I rode in my first long distance race called the Tour de Donut when I was just six years old.  It was the summer of 2005 and it was very hot.  The race was 32 miles.  My mom checked up on my Dad and I every few miles, just to make sure I was ok.  There was a camera crew there that documented my ride.  It was quite cool, but I was tired and speechless in the end.  I have now moved on to riding longer distance races which includes the Tour de Cure for diabetes of which I recently made the 50 mile course for the third time and raised over $400.00 for the American Diabetes Association.  This past weekend I rode in the Gateway Cup in Benton Park of downtown St. Louis.  I raced in the 11-12  category and got first place. I am currently looking for a road bicyle team to join. I am also training for the Pedal the Parkland witch is a 66 mile course. I have passion for bike riding and somday hope to be a pro cylist in the Tour De France.
