What are the rest of you going to take on for your first race of the
upcoming season? *What are you doing now and/or do you plan to do to
get ready for that first race (besides doping)?

Cyclocross until I can't cross no more. Then velodrome.

I thought about selling my second road bike (a Hans Schneider frameset
that I bought new early this year, just stripped down and had built up
with NOS/VCG Dura Ace bits, including some NOS hubs laced 3x - and
tied and soldered for the looks - to some Mavic tubular rime). If I
do that, I might buy a CX bike. I've never raced CX before. I could
keep my Schneider, and have Hans braze some cantilever mounts on the
frame, but I'd have to get a new fork 'cuz 25c tires are a tight fit
under the fork crown.

Your post gave me an excellent idea, I think...so thanks again!
