Macabre Jun 10
It's interesting to me that the different cycling disciplines produce such a wide disparity in a cyclist's results. For example when a dominating semi-pro mountain biker is but a fair to middling road racer, or when a champion road racer rides on the trails like a middle of the pack sport rider.
Today TC and I rode with Gerard, who was born and raised in the Netherlands and can absolutely clean our clocks in any cyclocross race, but today he was off the back in a road ride which included some dirt/gravel roads. Granted we weren't competing and TC and I have a home-court advantage, but it just makes one think about how the bicycle can amplify an athlete's specific strengths and weaknesses.
