Until I see how much I like doing this, I'm not prepared to spend the $2,500 - $3,000 it would take to go there. The scary thing is that except for the size of the wheels its not too much different from my road bike. Guess that is telling about how short I am.....
tires and they are cheap to boot - like $15-$20 each cheap)
I've missed Cycle U's cross clinic and there's not another one for a while, but there are drop in clinics at Woodland park - taught by the #1 cross rider in Washington too, so I'm going to give that a try.
I also went with a smaller bike instead of the larger one.

I know there is a cycle U clinic on Sept 8 and a women's only on the 19th. The Woodland park ones sound great but they're at 7am on weekdays. Doesn't work for me since I start work at 7.
