This afternoon, my friend Megan and I decided to do a little “cross” training.  We rode the trails over at the Greenway. This was the maiden voyage for my new Bianchi Cyclocross Bike. Race season is right around the corner, so we decided to ride a few “hot laps” and intervals on the grassy greens. Unfortunately, I railed one of the tight sippery corners just a little too hard. As a result, I went down and my friend Megan barely missed running over me; all I have to show for the spill is her footprint on my back and an egg on my shin. The Bianchi emerged unscathed.☺

The Bianchi Steed

Cross training on grassy greenways
Riding hard and railing turns
I slide out and go down
Sore shin and bruised back…
But, the Bianchi emerged unscathed.
