"You know you&amp;apos;re in trouble when one friend, a respectable schoolteacher, concedes quietly over dinner, \"it&amp;apos;s like crack.\" Days later, another trusted friend, who, for the record, is a functional member of society, uses \"heroin\" to describe the unnatural pull of oneself to cyclocross racing. I&amp;apos;m not that good at it, I don&amp;apos;t have a lot of extra time or money, but I&amp;apos;m full on hooked\nAnd it&amp;apos;s become not enough to race locally. With the renowned Cross Crusade races, the largest cyclocross series in the country - so eminent they have their own Wikipedia entry - within a gas tank&amp;apos;s distance from Bend, I find myself pulling on big girl pants to go mix it up with the largest amateur women&amp;apos;s field in the U.S."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
