It's getting to be that time again, no not another reference to fall, but time for me to post some meaningless words put together to waste your time. So I've been forced off the bike and have been riding the couch for the last several days and I'm about to go crazy. I'm sure my fitness has headed South for the winter, oh great!
Ok, screw fitness I just want to ride my bike. Even though I'm racing CX, I really do not care about fitness this time of year. I make my annual transition to dirt and really enjoy riding the bike. CX is just a reason to get out, hang out, and ride with friends. Plus getting to enjoy a post ride/race man soda is always a favorite of mine. Or two. CX for me is also a time to race without purpose, not worrying about doing well, or feeling bad when I can't help out a teammate win.
Just Ride. There is nothing better. It is so basic, the freedom of pedaling a bike making your own locomotion. It's the purity of being a living breathing machine. I can't get enough of that flying feeling, railing a corner or out of the saddle sprinting. When you ride for the ride's sake you can turn off the "have to" and turn on the "want to". This time of year is I don't want to have to ride, I want to want to ride.
