Finish it off with some CX fun...

Closed out the season last weekend at the Provincial Champs at Hardwood. Some good cold weather... Some mud... And tough climbs to make it that much more painful...


Had a good battle with Tim Marshall and together we couldn't catch Rob... So we beat up on each other.... I was stronger on the technical and Tim on the flat power. I missed my chance to retake the lead with 100m to go because I hesitated... So was out of the sprint. Can't be upset with 3rd considering I was never really in CX shape... Have spent way too much time playing in the forest and eating Halloween candy!!!

Don't hang them up yet!!!

As the weather cools down, CX season heats up... and there are still a lot of great rides to be ridden.  Don't be afraid to head out to the forest just because you think there is going to be snow.... sometimes it's nice to ride slower, stop more often, take different trails and ride with friends....
Was out last weekend with Emily and Eric Batty in the beautiful snow and Eric capture some shots of us on the trails.... a bit slick but it all helps build skills!!!


If it's hard to find the trail with all the leaves... just follow the track through the snow!!


As much as I love to ski... I'm hoping that there are a few weeks still left for rides like these...
Thanks for the Pics Eric.... let's do it again soon!!
