Fan Mail
I’m really enjoying your podcast! The topics are interesting (love hearing Steve get into the weeds on bike mechanics and really enjoying Kristen’s perspective on the topics discussed, esp on women riding bikes)… I do have a comment about Cross and the encouragement given to the bike racing naive- but- curious folks: as someone who was that person a few years ago, I will add that Cross is not necessarily for people who are introverted and self conscious about their skills. Speaking as one of these types, I found it pretty painful for my very crappy bike handling skills to be on full display at the races (due to the relative short and very viewable loops a cross course typically has). It’s not an easy discipline, but, you’re right, it’s a very good way to learn bike handling skills that will serve you well whatever way you prefer to ride a bike. And I did learn to try and be more humble, take myself less seriously, and try to have fun while parking my ego! Now I'm doing the same thing on a mountain bike. I'm looking forward to hearing more episodes- keep up the great work!
