Out in the World

Well, I officially started practicing today for XC. Running is not all that bad, and I seem to have fit in a comfortable rhythm. My pushup count was lacking but that's not too suprising. Who needs upper body strength. Last week, I got back from what could best be described as one of the greatest three weeks of my life. California was such a blast. Breath-taking views, incredible hikes, insane climbs, and absolutelty incredible single track. That's right, I did the Downieville Downhill of the famed Downieville Classic. That stuff is incredible!!! I never thought I was capable of such things on the bike. I had a pretty flexible work schedule, so I did some amazing road rides as well. Nothing beats six mile climbs @ 10-15%. Back to reality----

My CX bike is near completion, so I'll post some pics in the next day or so--I'm really excited! Hopefully, I start practicing with it soon. That's it.
