More cyclocross



I went out and did this wonderful event this evening. Not only was it the first time I've actually ridden my bike at all hard since mid August, I also drank a beer during the race!! And, somehow in great Halloween logic, I "won"! I don't know how in God's name they were scoring this thing, but maybe they saw me drinking a beer during the race and that got me extra points? Perhaps the beard that Aaro gave me a nice discount on gave me magical powers.

Anyway, that's the first race I've "won" since that ride near Kirksville when I dropped Michael on Connelsville climb last year. No wait, didn't I "win" the Kirksville century ride sprint this year, too?

Anyway I wanted to thank greenbeans and Butthead for putting on a first class Halloween event. You guys rock. That was really fun.

Cyclocross

Michael is charging through the Central NY cyclocross season with top 20 finishes in the "A" race every weekend. These events are"traditional" cross races with plenty of sand pits, run-ups, and barriers. Notice the 1987 era Avocet jersey, dress socks and hairy legs. Sweet.

Back on the bike


I'm now riding (mostly) pain free. After almost 2 months away from the bike--I realized how much I missed it.
