Cyclocross in Astoria

The rain may have came & went but the mud was there to stay!Saturday’s race…Saturdays race unknowingly started Friday … or I should say that my Friday festivities played a part as to why I showed up late for my race on Saturday …. Good time as any to cat up to Master B’s. I had a good race, started in the middle of the pack & held my own. LOVE my new Vittoria Cross XM Pro 700 x 32 tires!(please forward endorsement check to my PO box)And to top it off … I caught the “White Night” and won a new pair of KEEN shoes! (Please see endorsement note above) If you don’t know about the White Night … come out to a cross race.Sunday’s race …Master C’s I’m back! Today was the costume day, let me be the first to warn you that wearing a button on your NRR gear that reads “Alcohol Monitor” does not qualify as a costume in the eyes of the cross crusade clan. Lesson learned. I actually pulled off a good start and found myself in first place half way thru the third lap … this is when about 8 spectators in orange jumpsuits positioned themselves in the course like the barriers they were portraying and persuaded (threatened) me to dismount and jump over them (punishment for not having a real costume)… I did what was asked of me, happily! Unfortunately I lost the lead and fell into third at this point … I’ll take it, my best finish to date!Next race … PIR Sunday November 8th
