... which is still pretty kick ass. The funds just aren't available this year. Besides, why not wait until disc brakes are less of a novelty on 'cross bikes? I'm am still very excited about 'cross this year. I should have a new set of toobies to race on, and I'm really looking forward to dipping my toes into the Minnesota CX pond.
I've been riding fairly consistently since mid-march, making sure to do something productive on the bike at least five days a week. I rarely have the time I'd like to dedicate to riding due to the little ones, but I am getting quality rides in, nonetheless.
That's not a complaint about a lack of time, either. I'm actually really happy with the amount of time I've been able to put in this year. All things considered -- babies, and no plans to enter a road race -- I think I'm further along that I expected to be at this point.
Really though, what difference does it make? I'm just doing this to stay in shape. 90 percent of the time I ride by myself, so who cares? I feel good, I'm not fat, and I'm happy. That's the whole point, I guess.
