XXC Magazine #10

In XXC Magazine #10 you will experience first time bike camping at the Trans North Georgia, venture to Brazil for some stage racing, and talk "hundies" with multiple NUE series champion Jeff Schalk. We also talk to 35-39 age group Solo World Champion Jason McAvoy about something so many of us attempt to do -- train and race with a full time job and family. You will read about the inspiration that one rider found in the spirit of the late Mike Janelle, and no doubt become inspired yourself. There are tips for aspiring race photographers, and we embrace the cold and snow head on with an in depth look at riding and racing in the snow on "fat bikes," as well as a humorous look at one of the largest mountain bike races in the world -- Michigan's Iceman Cometh. Much of what you will read in this issue is about trying new things, going new places, being creative and pushing yourself out of your mental and physical comfort zone. I hope you enjoy.
