Advice

A panel of pro and former pro bike racers were asked the question:

What one thing do you feel played the biggest part to your getting to the next level in cycling? Their answers can almost all be applied to many other facets of life, not just cycling:

• Find one or two people who you really trust. (Coach or mentor.)
  
• Make goals, short-term and two-years out. Make sure to accomplish each of them.
• Track your progress to reaching your goals.
• Eliminate/minimize any distractions.
• Surround yourself with people stronger than yourself.
