Gotta love a guy who can pop a decent wheelie.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The fresh worldchampion Marianne Vos for being to good at a so young age and Marion Bax for being so good at the age of 50. Wow, and then to think I want to ride against those girls next year. I seriously need to do some more training in the preseason.

JENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love a guy who will bury himself for his team leader, will struggle to win a race he should have lost, and rolls up to a start line on a bright green faux chopper bike!
On a human level, this week it is me. I rode my first, and last cross, race this weekend. I came in dead last. Was lapped by the men, twice I think, and some of the women. But I had the most fun EVER! I even got a shout out from the announcer when I finished, cause I was so excited that I actually finished. I threw my hand up in the air like I had won! Next week it will be someone else.

Why is it your last cross race? If you had fun, you should keep doing it.

My question exactly - having fun is the most important part of racing! Originally Posted by velogirl

Just this past Sunday at a 'cross race, she asked me if I was having as much fun as she was... She finished last on Saturday, and was covered in mud, and finished second to last on Sunday after falling in the mud more than once as well. She is an inspiration!
I think this week, she is my favorite cyclist.
Have FUN!

Levi Leipheimer. He seems like a really nice guy and he and his wife support an animal shelter. Not to cause controversy, but I'm also big fan of Floyd Landis. Until he's proven guilty, I think he's an amazing cyclist and a very humble guy. In real life, DH is my favourite cyclist. He's the one who got me started in the 1st place.
