Answer 1

Move to Manchester or Newport and make use of their Velodromes.

Answer 2

you're ripping it up in the Cat1 races then? awesome! I assume you've got a coach, and a team helping your progression as well.

..no? you'd better get there. how else do you expect to get an invite to try out for the Olympic team?

bottom line: you've got to be making an impression now, and getting the attention of Olympic coaches, now..

Answer 3

Start winning all of the local races you enter.

Answer 4

Most of the cyclists in the Olympics are professionals, both on the track and the road (probably MTB and BMX too). There are multiple national champions and world champions. Chris Hoy for the UK has won world champions stripes in several disciplines. As soon as you can win at that level you'll be in.

Answer 5

The short answer is enter events and win a lot. If you are not competing at the PRO level in the next two years you will likely be watching from the sidelines.
