Essential 'Cross Gear

'Cross season is almost here. Most racers are busy this time of year prepping their rides, practicing their technique. I, on the other hand, have neglected to order my new 'cross tires and have chosen to focus more on my apres-race wear. Yes, my motivation for surving 45-60 minutes of pure hell is to get out of my skinsuit asap and throw on ripped jeans and my new mud boots. (And yes, I modeled them with bare legs. Not sure it's the look that I was going for but hey, it's still summer.)
