I think you did some CX last year, did you find it fun? Maybe going further in that direction could be a refreshing change. I've never been all that good in any style of racing, but I find CX racing way less frustrating than road races and crits. We have a ton of super fun events (including MRC CX on 10/13, please come!) and for me I get to have my racing fun in the fall and just try and enjoy the summer riding without any major agendas.
