About Average Athlete
Average Athlete is a personal cycling site — an amateur's take on racing, training and the thinking behind it. The name says it all: expect races, training rides and the commentary and analysis that come with them, from someone who shows up and does the work like the rest of us.
The whole site runs on one simple idea: being an athlete is fun.
