dave has gone all cross

i decided that this year to get what i really want for xmas i would have to buy it myself which led to the purchase of a cyclocross bike and after a couple of hours playing the mud on boxing day im looking forward to the cyclocross season ahead and getting back into racing which i miss terribly.

and with the imminent ordering of my track bike ill be spoilt for choice as to whether to stay nice and warm indoors or go out in the mud?? also my new de marchi winter jacket came tody which is well toasty so i would advise getting one, and the pockets are enormous, always a bonus to fill with food, so after the mileage thats left to do this week ill be on a weeks break before starting the cross the day after my birthday in january, i cant think of a better present. ill keep the blog updated with progress in the cross/ track/ other amusing or interesting events. might even get some photos in.
