Winter is just horrible for me. The lack of sunlight and the cold weather cause a less than pleasant disposition. It's much easier to face the dreary days of winter when I can look forward to racing on the weekend. Besides, I have to honestly ask, what else would we do with our time? Ride the trainer all winter? I think I would get cabin feavor and have to start trail running with the nerds or something crazy like that.

I started cross to try and shape up for my first year of MTB racing, so the longer I can race something with pedals the better off I'll be. I also think that there is no better motivation to train than Sunday race day.

this will be my first time racing past nats (health allowing). I am staying motivated to keep racing knowing that I will start the spring campaign much stronger than I have in the past. I am a roadie at heart, but also know that cross racing into Jan is building more than character.

Besides just an obsession for cyclocross, Teresa and I keep our season going until Masters Worlds...that was the original reason for developing the Grote Prijs...to keep us (and our entourage) tuned up. BUT now Nationals will likely move to January (to follow the international Schedule)....<br />
We also focus on 'cross as our primary season....we limit our road season, with a later start than a rider who focuses on that discipline, so come Septebmer we're ready to rock until almost…

So.. .what motivates you to race after natz? The second I come across the natz line, I'm ready to hang my CX bike up. What gets you out in January?

Hmmm, birthday bike race huh? Sounds like there should be some type of beverage on hand to celebrate the occasion.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to a few races in the mud and the rest of the season.
