I came in to season thinking I would do a couple races. I think I did 12. This might be the best or the worst sport ever,could be both. I've realized despite my 36 years of age and 0 years of bicycle racing, I still want to search and destroy! Racing C's next weekend. Thank you Metropolis Cycle Repair for having me. CX is a puzzle I will crack.
