Re: Anyone have just a cx bike no mtb?

recently somehow ended up with a cannondale cx bike........riding it offroad on anything remotely rough was terrible. shaken to bloody bits.

Re: With the onset of winter ...

I have spent 36 years just riding my bike. never raced, never timed myself, almost never stand up on the pedals. I don't want to go fast on my bike......you miss far too much when travelling quickly. :smile:
