A cyclist forum focused on Marin Bikes.
This year I’ve taken a different approach to cyclocross opposed to last. Last year I was pre-cross season committed to go at it, then a hurt knee and too little fun at the first race kept me content on the sideline. This year after mountain bike season came to a close I didn’t jump the [...]
