Crossing over.

4:39 PM on Mar. 17, 2008

(Post taken from my post at STLTrailRunning.com) So I've been thinking (which usually means I'm getting ready to spend assets in the form of either time, energy or money). Years ago (high-school) I was really into ultra-marathon road cycle (as in bicycle) racing. I was consumed by it. I loved it. The fact that I got into marathon/ultra running is, I think, a natural outgrowth from those years. Anyway, I don't miss it much. It really turned into something that I no longer enjoyed as costs skyrocketed, people got involved because they wanted to parade around with the most expensive bike at the event, and so on. I also just sort of grew out of the sport, finding interests in other areas. Lately I've begun really enjoying riding again. Now though, as opposed to an ultra-light weight road kit, I love to beat around the same trails that I run on my mountain bike. In fact, I find myself taking the long way home from work just so I can log a few miles on the trail upon my trusty mount (a rather mundane low-end Specialized hard-tail). What a blast. So this evening I happened over to the USA Cycling web site and found that others enjoy the same thing. Imagine that. ;) It seems that the mounted version of my much adored long/very-long distance trail running is actually quite popular all over the place (note that this is no the same as XC/Cross-Country MTB). Me thinks I will have to give it a try. Stand by for injury reports.
