I started the Socal Cross season with a win, then 2nd and now 3rd in Spooky Cross. I know it's the MTB off season and I haven't hardly touch the bike the previous couple of weeks (except the races) but somehow I still don't like the way this pattern is heading! Only one solution, make a change, I'm back on the bike during the week, not in the traditional way- I decided to go mountain biking on the cross bike. Boy the skinny tires are fast on the climbs and fire roads, though the descents / technical sections are a little more challenging- good skills training :-) It's brought back memories of videos, books and stories I've seen about how mountain biking started with BMX and road bikes out on the trails. A good challenge and reality check of how good it is to have technology evolve. Hopefully I'm now set for anything but 4th this weekend! Lol
