Have gradually been transferring MTB love t0 road love for the last few years. Tried my hand at road racing last year (without any success - not fit enough, got ill, changed jobs).
Going to do more CX this year,. Across the summer on the SS CX I've just thrown together, then race on a geared crosser.
I'm dealing with some depression right now, and riding bikes has been really helping. But the best rides ar ethe ones without expectations.
Surprised I havent lost it. Take yesterday, four hours in the cold wet and dark. Killed a chainring and pads, fell into a drainage ditch and got soaked. My mate bust his ribs and my gloves iced over on the way home.
It tries to ditch me but it cant.
Was losing the love towards the back end of last year
- December with snow and ice just couldn't be bothered.
Got a load of new cold weather stuff (roubaix longs etc...) for xmas and finished the re-build of my hardtail with a 3 speed SA hub and am looking forward to it again.
Lost the little bit of fitness I did have due to laziness, minor injury & broken bike bits last year
Went for a quick blast in the snow and enjoyed it, but no inclination at all to get back out on the bike at the moment. 🙁
