Cyclocross is Hurt

Two races this weekend. SS on Saturday with Thomas. 3 people showed up, and I got third. Yippee! I had too small of a gear and couldn't make up any ground on Thomas or Brian. And I suck.

Sunday was a LONG drive to Laguna Seca for CCCX and NCNCA Cup. I raced open Bs. I had a bad first lap and then was making up ground on subsequent laps. There was a big climb where I could catch and pass people before they would pass me back on the downhills where I was grabbing more brake than...something that grabs a lot.

Rick Rasmussen is my new BFF. I have never talked to him or anything, but he always takes tons of photos at the CCCX races and posts them immediately for you to peruse and use free of charge. Heck of a guy and I appreciate it - I just may tell him next time I see him.
