White Cross
March 3rd, 2010I recently got a fancy, super light cyclo-cross bike. So far, I’ve really just used it as a road warrior and haven’t used in any true off road conditions. I was feeling a bit like poser so I decided to give it a try on some of our local single track and mud, then connect up with a big road climb to Glade Park and down the windy switchbacks of Colorado National Monument. That seemed a true “cross” outing. Well, let’s just say technical, rocky single track is not what it’s meant for. But hey, it’s really light so easy enough to shoulder through the tricky sections. At least I got it muddy and the 3,000 foot climb up the road was a good burn.
