Cyclocross!

Who knew I'd enjoy it? I did my first event at the encouragement of a friend, at the last minute, this weekend. Hadn't ridden for the better part of 3 weeks, and even then, not intently. Sucked wind, swore to myself, felt like dropping out of the race, and finished after being lapped by 3-4 riders. Had a BLAST!

It was great to get thrown in again. I'm motivated and riding again, too. Went 16 on gravel during lunch break yesterday - really hammered it, and it flowed, felt great. Averaged something like 17 mph the whole way, even in crummy shape. Digging it again - hope it sticks.

So - the dream lives. Hoodoo 500 in Aug. 2010??????? If I can get the bucks together, the legs will take me there!
