Cross is here

So it's been radio silence on here all summer, but now that the autumn approaches I thought I'd resurrect this blog.

So far it's been another year of racing more than ever. In addition to dabbling on the road I've raced a fair bit of cross country. So no excuses for not being race-ready for the cyclocross season. Having said that, after a busy spring and early summer of racing I made sure I took things fairly easy in July and August to make sure I hit the autumn mentally and physically fresh. Late summer is a great time of year to chill out and go for lots of long rides!

A few of us from Ajax have also got an evening cyclocross training group going, which has been great for honing technique and fitness. All in all, I'm as well prepared as I've ever been for a cyclocross season. Will that translate into results? Time will tell, starting with round 1 of the Welsh League on 13 September.
