If youre interested pick a team out of Rapha Condor, Plowman Craven, Recycling.co.uk and SiS and I would (obviously) need your full name. You can come up with realistic stats if you like. |

sounds cool, i too am more of an endurance rider but to be honest i haven't bothered joining a team, so i'll probably nevery get the chance to do what you're doing, but then again i am only 15, so there's still time
are you more of a track rider than road then?
i myself am more of a road rider, in fact i'm doing a nice 70-miler/100km next month, i am mainly a road rider because i have never ridden on the track, but i am going to one of them starter things soon (well i think 70miles/100km is a long way for a 15yr old anyway)

Yes, of course. With our huuuge mountains here in Denmark we can't avoid riding in hilly terrain |

Denmark is known as one of the flattest countries i Europe. Apart form Netherland, of course. The highest point is "Yding Skovhøj" at 173m |

Oh, I seriously thought you were joking.
Denmark proper is a lowland area, indeed its terrain is among the flattest in the world. The average elevation is just 30 meter (about 100 feet) above sea level; the highest point, Yding Skovhøj in the east-central Jutland, reaches only 172.7 meter (568 feet).

i tried going up a 30% hill last year (when i was only 13 to be fair) but it turned out it was 3miles/5km long and 30% for 5km solid was very, very hard work |

How about asking them if they ever plan to move to road racing or if they will just remain track cyclists. |
