Lately I have been hearing the phrase “Cross Is Boss” by
many of my friends and fellow cyclists.
Well, I don’t know about that, however, I will say that I do enjoy the
laid back environment and the sharing of adult soda pops with my fellow friends
around a fire pit. I would probably
describe cyclocross as interestingly fun and entertaining with hopes of
improving my bike handling skills for next seasons MTB races.
After doing two CX races in the past month I will definitely
say that it provides for a great workout similar to a criterium all the while
testing your bike handling skills which is needed in mountain bike races. So hopefully the skills and experience I gain
from doing cross races will allow me to see the podium in some mountain bike
races next season.

Another cool thing about going to a cross race is that there
are usually multiple races throughout the day so you have the option to race
more than once and there are usually kids races which makes it a great family
event.
(Look of determination)
If I can gain anything from the MTB training rides with JR,
Jeff & Shawn along with the cross races I hope that it’s learning how to
ride more obstacles and rugged terrain.
(I can ride this!)
(Maybe I can ride this?)
(I will never ride this!)
Either way I am having fun riding my bike for the DynamicPhysical Therapy cycling team powered by Pathfinder this year and I am meeting
some very interesting people like this girl dressed up as a Ninja Turtle.
