'cross season is underway

Wow, it's cyclocross season already. I've been getting as prepared as I can by logging as many miles as possible on the 'cross bike via Forest Park and Mount Tabor. I've also been running (and running stairs) when I get the chance.

I'm excited to start but very nervous about the whole prospect of racing with the As. I feel like I am in pretty good shape, but pretty good just doesn't cut it with the big guys...

Also been thinking about what I should do about a pit bike. I'd love to have another bike to keep in the pit (and to use as a road bike the rest of the year). I go back and forth on whether or not I should get another standard 'cross bike or whether it should be a disc brake cross bike. I'd love to have a disc brake bike...

My buddy Ted may be selling his Poprad disc. Let me know if you want his info.
Those UCI turkeys won't let you rock it (discs, that is) at the fancy-schmancy races, though....

Hey JV,
I'd love to find out more about your buddies bike. Do you know the size and the price he might be interested in selling it for?

I won't be racing to many UCI races.. and mainl I want this bike for a commuter.

Thanks!
