    I agree with most of what he is saying, but will also add that the mental side plays a part. In my teens I would not hesitate to launch a new jump or drop, but once I was the one working for my food and rent the "I have to go to work Monday/tomorrow" kicked in sometimes.

    Is this a paywall website now?

    The 5 articles warning is not actually based on anything, its just random. I haven't read an article on CN for months, and just got the warning when I clicked on the Pidcock training camp thread by mistake.

    I'd have to go read the UCI rule book to know for sure (not going to happen now) but I think that you can remove/add as needed/able anywhere on the course. Do they have litter zones in CX like on the road now though? EDIT: 5.1.063 The riders undertake to respect nature and the environment...

    Now that's a proper winter race! MvdP! It would have been fun to see what WvA could have done, but that's racin'!

    Do you have hobbies off-the-bike? If so, what?

    It took me a while to figure out what thread you mention hummingbirds in. We have at least one humming bird who has decided to tough out the winter so we bought a heated feeder. Every day was above average in December and we had several days in the 50s so I guess its tolerable for it. I hope...
