Regrouping.

So as anyone who's been checking has seen, my road bike was stolen a couple weeks ago. The biggest bummer there is that I was planning on transferring most of the parts to my cross bike for winter racing. Well, now I'm working on saving up to get some new parts so that I can still have two cross bikes this winter. I'm looking forward to cross, and will start getting ready for it starting this week. In the mean time, I've been running and riding mountain bikes.

I've decided that next season I will focus on mountain biking, with the intention of earning my Pro upgrade on the trails, and attending National Championships. This decision feels incredibly right for me. I've always liked mountain biking more than road riding, and I've had more success on the mountain than on the road. So I'm pretty excited to make the transfer to being mountain focused rather than road focused. This doesn't mean that I won't also be racing road, but that I will be focused on mountain races, with the above goals in mind.

In the mean time, it's almost the beginning of the cross season. Just a month and a half away from the first race of the season. I'll be getting tubulars repaired and glued soon, and setting up my A and B bikes for the season by end of August. It promises to be a good season.
