Training

[Juligirli]

So you know anyone locally who races 'cross? Finding someone who does is a good place to start - they are usually VERY HAPPY to help get people like you addicted - 'er, I mean into the 'cross racing scene .

Hehe... good advice by the one who taught me how to 'cross... which included registering me at a race I was just showing up to watch .. I'm totally looking forward to the fall now that I think I'll have time (finally) to do more cross races!

I don't road race at all, just lots of hilly riding in Central Mass... This year I'm training for a longish charity ride mid summer so I should have a better "base" than the last two years when I just showed up after not riding at all. But once you do one race its totally addicting! As long as you are cool with bruises lol.

maybe someday I'll try road racing... just haven't gotten the nerves up for that yet.
