Maybe Next Year.
In more Northerly parts of the West the cyclocross season is in full swing. Reading this and looking at this makes me very envious. Earlier this year I planned to ride my ass off through the Summer to be in some kind of shape to start racing ‘cross this season. As the past few months have unfolded though, this seems increasingly impossible.
I’ve got about 110 degrees of flexibility in my knee, which is just barely enough to get my leg through a full stroke of the pedals on my bike. It’s by no means comfortable or easy though, and there is no kind of strength to it. But still; progress!
While in Portland for Oregon Manifest I’ll be checking out some ‘cross races in the area, and I hope to spectate even more back in Chico once the season starts down here. One way or another I will taste mud this winter.
