"Sucks the most"
I think I want to race cyclocross.
I ride my bike every day. Nine times out of ten I’m just commuting, but I like to get in longer recreational rides when I can. I like to ride fast and far, even if I’m not the fastest or the longest lasting. While there’s always a bit of friendly rivalry on group rides with friends, I’ve never considered myself a competitive cyclist. In my mind competitive road riding has always been more about pomp and opulent bikes and components then about the thrill I get from going fast.
Cyclocross seems to be much more on my level. Dirty, fun, fast, furious, burning up in less than an hour, the “punk rock cousin of road racing”. It’s all around me here in Northern California, so I figure it’s about time I get a taste for it.

Also, skinny knobby tires are sorta hot.
