I just bought a Felt Edict 1 and am pretty pumped! First mountain bike for me.
Looking forward to trying some new things. Planning on as much XC racing as I can manage as well as the 3-4 xterra races we have here in Texas. Lots of different motivators for this. I've always loved the idea of bike racing (group rides with my local race team are my absolute favorite workouts), but have never really enjoyed road racing. Hoping that XC mountain bike is more my style. Also like the fact that a lot of these races are held in state parks where you can camp out with the family for the weekend. And definitely am looking forward to riding on the road less. Can't help but be paranoid about getting run over. Plus it just looks like a ton of fun.
So who's into it? Advice? What are your plans for the year?
