After trying to find something challenging, engaging, and addicting for quite sometime I finally found what I've been looking for...cycling. True it has got to be one of the most time consuming, expensive, and most difficult sports to "slip" into, but I'm hooked and I'm not talking back. Basic idea of this blog is to follow me from a beginner cat 5 racer to as high as I can go. Hopefully I can give an unbiased outside opinion of the sport in Iowa and call things like I see it. Hopefully it'll hold me accountable to countless hours of roller races, trainer rides, and spin classes...all of which are not fun, and makes me think twice about what I'm getting myself into.
Cyclocross practice tonight, need a good ride to loosen up my legs from the great Spooky Cross event last weekend...plan is to ride a bit slower than I usually do then try and follow the faster riders as they pass me and hold on as long as I possibly can...
