All My Eggs In The Cyclocross Basket

Not much to write about lately. Since I made the decision to throw away the summer road season, my motivation to train all out for cross is at a all time high. The practice barriers are out several times a week, and the legs are starting to respond better to the repeated hard efforts I'm putting in. The increase in the volume of training has helped in getting my weight to an all time low. I'll be at the start line this fall a full 20 pounds lighter than last year! Another plus this coming fall season is that Re-run, my 9yr old wants to try his hand at some Jr races. So he'll be putting his BMX skills to the test in the mud and sand. Harper's is putting together a "mini"cross bike for him. I'll get pictures of it once it's done. If any local (Quad Cities) riders want to start some group cross practices let me know. I have a couple courses I use that work well. But some hard group efforts I really need to get a true picture. I need to see if my new found fitness is in my legs, or where it usually is, IN MY DREAMS! Ty
