Ready?

The first cross race of the season is tomorrow. I think I have prepared as best I can considering all the recent life changes.

So far I have commuted home five times this month, which is my main training tool right now. Do difficult 35-mile rides with tons of climbing translate to success in 45-minute cyclocross races? Time will tell.

Today I did 20 miles on the bike trail with a few hard efforts on dirt and gravel trails just to get the feel of going fast on different surfaces.

Tomorrow should be fun. My buddy Steve is coming, so that's always great motivation for me.

Later.
