charting new territory

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that “maybe” I might want to try a cyclocross race, and marscat promptly said she would give me a clinic. “OK”, I think. She had clinics with mentors such as AndyJM, Ben JM, AnnF and other really experienced mentors. I get Marscat. Oh well…I ought to be more thankful.

But this weekend, I saw there is finally a race for women Cs that does not include the other women. The reason that this is a good thing and why I might actually race is because Marscat and I have to share. The other races never seem to work out since we only have one of everything. I will have to wear her shoes which used to be my shoes and I will use her bike which used to be Cheryl’s bike. So, I am a little excited. The race is early so I can do a long ride afterwards and still work on my road base and maybe get a sundae. And, if I try now when no one is around to watch how terrible I will be, I might be able to do the costume race at the Velo Bella race and not feel so anxious.
