Maybe one day I'll get it
Whoever was it that said Fall was the off season? Not around here it isn't. I think everyone around me has gone cyclocross crazy. We have more races and more people talking cross racing than I have ever witnessed before.
I'm feeling left out.
No, not really; but as you might guess. Cross is out for me. That is if it ever was in. Truth is I have always had that little idea burning inside, tempting me to give it a try. Beer, cowbells, and bikes? How can it be so bad?
Plus I hear it hurts a lot. And it's the hurt thing that keeps me out of it. Not the hurt that comes from riding hard. Oh no, I'm talking about the injury kind of hurt. I look at the photos of guys running up hills and stairs with bikes on their shoulders... The doctor doesn't even want me mowing the lawn.
Maybe someday when I don't care if I get to ride the next year I can give it a try.
Get Out of Jail Free card
You have earned one for your surgery. Having said that, you most certainly can show up at a race and hold out dollar bills or beers along with fellow recovering shark, Mr. Nelson.
"The doctor doesn't even want me mowing the lawn."
I'd like the name of your doctor. Whatever you had, I think I'm coming down with the same thing. ;)
Mark come join me in full on
Mark come join me in full on heckling of the folks that are losing.....I mean offering kind supportive words of fellow racers. You could probably ride to a lot of the events so it would be a full day of slacking off the bike.
Word up, James
I plan to be there, cowbell in hand.
