2016 CX Season Opener

A lot has happened over the off-season.  Although I have mentally committed to making Cyclocross my primary sport and the focus of all my training efforts for the past few years.  This year I have fully committed to allowing myself to forgo the early Spring Road and Crit races.  In mid-summer I started my Transition to [CX] Base and did a block of LSD rides in August by targeting local Ridge Climbs.
