On Saturday was race #6 of the Utah Cyclocross Series. Granted this was only my third cross race since August but I had one hell of a time staying on my bike. The conditions were dry and fast instead of the preferred cold and crappy. I know that if my fitness level is not where it should be that I can usually hang in there with my riding skills when things get dicey. Of course not last weekend and I will spare all the details but here is a short synopsis. I went down on lap #2 in silly corner, did my best impersonation of super man after running over the barriers and landed right on the saddle, and of course two stops to straighten out the bars and put the brake cable housing in. As the saying goes, I looked like a monkey trying to #$%^ a football.
Hopefully this weekend I can stay on the bike a little more and use my energy to try to stay up front rather than chasing and passing the same people over and over. Here is a reminder that Vegas Cross will be on tv this Saturday on the Versus Channel.
Check this photo out of Wells pushing his bike for a full lap in Boulder since he broke his chain right after the pits.
Now isn't bike racing fun?
