     @tk @cycling @mastobikes I did my first cyclocross race in college in 1999 when our collegiate cycling team put on a race on campus in the snow in January. I didn’t buy a real cross bike until 2002. Since then, I’ve been doing it every year (except for Covid) and it’s been my most successful racing discipline. I love it!

     As a Swiss elite cycling racer told me once: cx is one hour of freezing, suffering and going way over your limits. So a perfect winter work out.

     Mostly did road racing before the pandemic paused the season so I tried solo TT racing then tried CX which felt like it had the best of all worlds going for it.

     First ever CX race was on a custom built 90s Hardrock MTB with drop bars. Fell over 3 times, had fun, and am in my third season of it.
