can you explain in vivid detail how this would make me a better cyclist?
how much fun can i expect to have? 0 being a POW, 10 being tickled by elmo impersonators.
is it like a cross race on mountain bikes?
isn't cyclocross starting up soon?
These are wonderful questions!
1. Racing always makes you faster, unless you fall into a hole and hurt your pectoral muscles or other sundry parts of your body. As it turns out, there are no holes at the BSA, or at least none that we will be racing in, near, or over. Racing pushes you more than you otherwise would by yourself and thus, you get faster.
2. Your fun meter will go to 11. For real.
3. This is exactly like a cross race on a mountain bike. In fact, it's a veritable push in terms of the who/what/where/when/why. I just put my cross bike next to my mountain bike, and I wasn't able to tell the difference. Granted, I closed my eyes. But still.
4. Yes, cross is starting soon. This is a great way to grease yourself into some cross shape without actually having to do a cross race. What better way to put everything together than to race this race.
Do reg now. Don't hate the whales.
