Another Saturday means another spin and since I'm fully & completely got hooked on this whole cyclocross game there was no other option but hop on the bike and get some proper cross training session done. This time I've targeted a fresh, new location: the Bushy Park.
The place is just simply great: tons of cool singletracks everywhere, some looooong set of stairs and massive amount of grass. I have been in the park many times before but I got to explore it properly only this morning. It is definitely a perfect location for cross spins with possibility to do all sorts of cross specific training.
And the best part is: it's only around the corner from my place! :)

| Lovely autumn conditions: damp and sliddery trails covered with leaves. The BEST!!! |
So, after a quick warm up I got to the park and started my spin that I was waiting for pretty much all week. Thankfully I managed to get rid of this man-flu that is going around for weeks now, so I finally felt great on the bike. Happy days!

I picked a nice loop that included all the cross-worthy elements: muddy trails, field crossings, stairs and some tarmac sections as well. I think I managed to find the good balance and mix of all these elements during this loop, so I got a good few of them done.

After today there's a definite answer: no turning back, CX is for me! I had such a great time on the bike this morning and because I felt healthy and "fast" the spin was even better. Bring on the Fixx Supercross Cup Round 3 next weekend, I can't wait!! :)
