that's probably a tough field to start your CX career in. I'm sure lots of folks whose primary discipline is cyclocross.
lack of rhythm, not feeling comfortable, and not feeling fast. throw in some tentative cornering and being at a time of the year where I don't feel much like racing and you have a synopsis of my cyclocross career.
I had a couple great 3.5 hr. rides this weekend in beautiful early morning sunshine and crisp autumn air
