Tonight was night 1 of Team Vanilla Cyles cyclocross clinic series. I was pretty excited to get out there and see who showed up. While my High-Five is yet to come to america yet, I was readying the On-One this afternoon. I built up a single-speed tubular wheelset to race on. Now there were a lot of little things I had to get done to transfer the On-One back into a racing bike and quite frankly I was running out of time. So I took the "big girl" my 29'er mountain bike. This isn't really that absurd because, the "big girl" is light (21 lbs) and has drop bars on it. It would make a decent cross rig if I threw on a different wheelset, I am keeping her in my back pocket for the cross series out here just in case it ever gets real crazy wet/muddy.
"Big Girl" worked just fine all night. The clinic was mainly dealing with the technical aspects of mounting/dismounting/barriers/ect... My mounts/dismounts and high speed turning are all in good shape, I just need to get into good shape. Tonight was just the motivation I needed to kick my butt into gear. Technical skill wise I was on par or slightly better than the group I was with (seasoned riders). The first race is about one month and I am getting very very excited!!!
