Young Cyclist, Chasing the dream

My name is Sam Pedder, I am 24 years old and from Manchester, England.
I am a Semi Professional Road Cyclist, Love racing hilly races and Criteriums.
I have been riding bikes most of my life for fun but I started seriously racing when I was about 16.
I have travelled all around the World racing in places like Mallorca, Spain, Belgium, France, Holland, America and Saudi Arabia.
In 2012 I lived in Belgium for 7 months to race with some of the best Semi Professional riders in the World; I was racing for Asfra Flanders, based in Oudenaarde, Belgium. Then 2013 I lived in California for 3 Months to Race Pro,1,2 Races and then in May i Returned to Belgium for 6 months to keep racing

For 2014 i will be returning to California on the 9th Jan and staying to race for 6 months.
I will be racing all the Pro,1,2 Criteriums, Road Races and Stage Races in the Southern California Area.
I am a unpaid rider and i have to do all this off my own back with the help of Friends and Family, The money that you donate will go towards Food, Travel, Race entry fees and Accomodation.

As many of you know cycling is a very expensive sport especially for a unpaid Semi Professional rider like myself.
I would really appreciate your help in supporting me on my main goal which is to Race as a professional cyclist and live my dream.

I do a lot of volunteer work with children with behavioural problems or Disabilities, Its good to show them that if you want something you can have it if you work for it, Every kid likes to rides their bike but not many know that if they try hard at it they could be travelling around the world doing something they love. I like to see myself as a role model to these Children and hopefully they will look up to me and stay away from Drugs, smoking and Causing trouble on the streets and go and ride their bikes

I would Like to say a massive thank you to my Dad, Howard and my Brother, Jack for all the support and to all my friends that have helped me along the way.

Would also like to thank my Sponsors Sandyman Chop Shop for all the help and a thanks to my Coach Transition Cycle Coaching for helping me get the most out of my training and racing.
