an journey into madness

‎"Don't believe anything you read on the net. Except this. Well, including this, I suppose."
— Douglas Adams


This blog is unnecessary. I mean, from a practical point of view. It's a double, a duplicate, one in the same as another recently created blog. But many things in my life come in two's right now. Cats, dogs, beers (if I'm holding back), wheels.

Members of the family racing cyclocross.

The counterpart to this blog is my wife's blog, http://crossingover2cyclocross.blogspot.com/. Of course, now that she's taking on the sport I've been pursuing, I was interested in taking on the blogging that she's been doing.

We've doubled up.

Of course, the title of this blog might suggest that someone feels double crossed. We'll probably learn more about that later when she's kicking my ass at the sport I started first. In reality, she's an amazing athlete, and I hope that her kicking my ass will inspire me to be better as well. Double cross in our house will lead to betterness. Warm fuzzies. Cyclocross slaying.

As we near the start of the season, I'll try to convince Chessa to share on this blog, but might just get her to repost. See? Unnecessary. But there will be a lot of my own writing. Likely about drinking. I mean... training. Equipment. Idiocy. Lots of great things, I hope. Many in the name of Mighty Riders

Until then, perhaps an image from last year's cyclocross season to tide you over.
