Weekly Wrap – CX Arm’s Race
CX Republic, We have cleared away the crust and are now into the heart of the CX-season sandwich. Blink, and we will be cleaning our rigs one last time and wondering if Nys will win worlds.

To be quite honest, it never really wandered too far away. After last year’s season ended with some broken ribs and unachieved objectives, the decision was made to take training to new levels. Training started over Christmas break or early January for many of us. Personally, I raced the road in the spring and early summer for the...
