By mikem on 8/17/2006 I've been mountain biking for one year now and it's time to pay the fiddler... I told my wife and friends that if I was still biking the next time the New Bethlehem Peanut Butter Festival Mountain Bike Race rolled around that I'd enter. It's important everyone know that a year ago I was 5'5" and 230lbs. I rode all fall and winter which was pretty good for skill building. I figured riding technical crosscountry trails through the snow and ice in Northwestern PA sure beat sitting in front of the TV. So now mid August a year later, I've lost some weight (20lbs) and gained some skill for the technical single track I have available to me. My big problem is that the recreational (just for fun) riding I do isn't really helping my speed as much as I'd like. Especially not for a 15 mile cross country race.. |
