With the start of my cyclocross racing right around the corner, less that two weeks away, I feel a little more excited about it each day that it gets closer. I think what excites me the most is that I’m more ready than I have ever been for cyclocross. Now, don’t misinterpret what I’m saying here, I know exactly where I stand in the Master’s category age groups…way closer to the bottom that the top. But I’m still excited and more ready than ever, both physically and mentally. I’ll be jumping right in with 4 race days in the first 3 weekends of the season. Then two weeks of no racing, easy training rides, and rest. And then…every weekend up to Thanksgiving, with most being double race weekends. My goals are the same as last year: finishs a little better than the previous season, bigger races, and move up in the NYCROSS Series overall.

And again, I can’t wait.
