Lilly’s start

Tried new mounting location on the bike and went out on lunch to try out the loop dry. Still need to try it with the barriers and add some tight twisty stuff. Also when I stop being lazy I will put my cx tires back on and might be able to grip well enough to climb the hills…

This year Geoff Kabush is racing for Scott-3 Rox Racing. Kabush is a 7-time Canadian mountain bike champion and he’s also a 3-time cyclocross national champion. In a recent chat with Canadian Cycling Magazine, Kabush said: “I really enjoy the camaraderie of the cyclocross season and I used to be able to coast through it on my MTB fitness. It is great to see the health of the sport growing but it also means I have to take it a little more serious if I want to compete.” The bike Kabush uses for cyclocross is the Scott Addict CX and he gave us a taste of why he likes to race on the bike. You can also find a review of this bike in September-October issue of Canadian Cycling Magazine. Kabush says he’s happy to be with Scott – 3 Rox Racing this season. He says, “3Rox has done some great work developing and building up the team over the years. It has been exciting to join the squad this winter and help take things to the next level. The support from the sponsors has been excellent and we are having a lot of fun and laughs on the team. Everything feels like it is in place for success and I am really looking forward to the future with Scott-3Rox now.”

We headed to Bunyip State Park for a pre event ride of the Double Cross course. We set the GoPro up on time lapse and started shooting away – here’s a 20k snippet of the course. The Double Cross – 2nd September 2012 – Bunyip State Park Enter on 26″, 29″ wheels, CX or Mongrel

I finally mixed bikes and blades. Here is my first two days. Got a nice double @ 3:20 and a decently smooth run @ 3:43 (however, if you want to try this, you should watch the whole video). More to come, I have a few things I need to experiment with as far as handling the two together. Enjoy! (But if you don’t, at least leave a comment with your thumbs down. I’m always open to input. However, a reply video may be required to be taken seriously….) Copyright info:
