I rode my CX bike for the first time in over a year. I essentially got 3 new bikes last year, and barely rode them because of the pandemic. The CX bike is my only Shimano bike so half the time I'm mis-shifting because I'm used to eTap.
Anyway, I was better out there than I thought, but I need to be better on the descents in dirt. BWR is in 5 months, and I'd like to find a 5 mile and 10+ mile loop I can simulate the race. My offroad discomfort is what's going to kill me out there so I need to be less scared cautious when hammering in the dirt. The initial part of the downhill is like 9% and I'm not comfortable at all there, I stick my feet out and go really slow lol.
