43 days ’til Cyclocross Season
…but then I’m sure you knew that already. Physically I’m not sure if I am ready (change not sure to definitely) for the start, but I’ve been try to ride more & I’m just starting to be able to run really short distances so that at the bare mininum I don’t have to crawl over the barriers. Next month I’m signed up for a day long ‘cross clinic up in Madison. The MadCross.org group is holding it and I’m super excited since everyone up in the Madison ‘cross scene is absolutely terrific.
Mentally I’m getting really excited and I’ve broken out my copies of Simon Burney’s book (there’s a 3rd edition now?!) and Pure Sweet Hell.
The only other thing left then is all my equipment. I noticed a grinding in my bottom bracket I need to get checked out otherwise I think I’m good. My goal is get some really race worthy rides in before the 23rd so I can avoid last years snafu of a loose seat clamp & a pulled shifter cable coming down when it’s go time.
