Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My first ever CX race. Who knew that riding over a grassy field could hurt so much?

HR at 200BPM and my heart about to explode out of my chest Not very flattering:

A few yards past first pic and the heart has calmed down a bit:


Did I mention I can't climb?

yeah, threading the needle between the puddle and the wet manhole cover was tough in the last turn of a crit <whew>

There were A LOT of crashes during this race. Probably 5/lap for the first few laps. I slid some, but kept it upright.
