CYCLOCROSS IS HERE!!!!

It's that time of year again... Yikes!!
Actually, I'm quite excited this year about the whole CX scene. My new Team (Rogue) is ultra fun and the girls are just flat out hilarious. We've been training for some time now out on the cross course, but always making sure that we're enjoying the bike and having a blast.
Last night was the first fast "Wednesday Testosterone" ride. It was insanely fast... or at least the "b" group in which my buddy/teammate/co-Ship Commander Brian Segal and I jumped in on. Apparently we went faster than the "a" group.
I was able to survive the first set of 3 laps, and the 1st lap of the second set... I was going to go for two laps, but then I saw that Segal had jumped ship; and being the good teammate that I am, I wasn't about to let him quit by himself!
In addition, I think I had one of those deep realization moments where I thought to myself "Why the F##k am I doing this? This is stupid fast"... and that's when I stopped.
In hindsight, stopping was a great idea cause some of our Rogue ladies were down at the course including Sheri, Brooke, Valerie (our newest teammate!) and Marcia. I should have brought some beer to make it the perfect evening. Oh well, there's always next week!
