Sorry for the lack of posts in the past few weeks. The posts are almost equivalent to the amount of time my arse has been in the saddle. I have been able to get in a few good rides on the cross bike last week with another slated for this morning.
Going to be meeting up with Nate so we can both get fully accustomed to riding the cross bikes. Need a little practice getting on and off the bike in a timely manner and not falling on my face. Mostly because my dental insurance is not all that great and my wallet not heavy enough to pick up the slack.
Really wanted to be able to make it up to Iron Cross this year but alas I swore off cross racing for this year about 2 months ago. That was until last week when I built it back up. Well not entirely up. I left off all those pesky dérailleurs and shifters. Looks like I will be able to make 7 races here in VA throughout the season. First one is this Saturday at the Cooper Vineyards where the course description states, "This course is offers only a fewe short downhills and not much time for recovery." F-in great! As if cross doesn't take it all out of me as it is. Not sure my chest can take all the vomiting and heaving after the races that took place last year. Good thing I am in worst shape this year than last.
