cyclocross 101

I spent the better part of Thursday afternoon trying to perfect the art of mounting and dismounting the cross bike that I acquired last fall. I spent many hours watching youtube videos before heading up to Fort Henry's XC running course for a short tutorial from the good man, cyclocross, and geography guru Neal. While not a complete failure, I was most definitely lacking the finesse that I hope to exhibit in a mere two weeks at Kingston's Cross Race.

I'll be back at it this week and if I'm feeling brave, I may give this week's Eastern Ontario Series race in Perth a shot.
