Are You Living It?

Cross season is closing in quickly. It’s that time of year for us Roadies to show the world why we ride a bike and are not runners. Well at least we can blame some of it on the shoes!

Ending each ride with a short run is actually becoming enjoyable. My hips have finally given in to the fact that I am not going to stop just because they are whining a bit. The cross bike is getting its yearly cleaning, just kidding, why would I clean it if it’s just going to get dirty again? Now, about that shifting problem.

Cyclocross does bring back the kid-like fun of bike riding. Getting dirty, falling down, skidding through corners keeps a smile on my face. It has been too dry for mud yet, but I can’t wait. Maybe I’ll volunteer to till the garden, with a short Cross Course set up in it and the hose turned on. Let’s get muddy!
