sixty minutes of misery.

first go at cx for the season. jesse and i headed over around noon. checked the threes race. casey, lyle, jason, zack, and sketchyd all ripped it up. warmup. jesse tried to convince me to wear the ls skinsuit, but i couldnt do it on a seventy five degree day. decent start, i filed in. kyle was on the front pushing with brian, tristan, bender, jesse, myself, and mike in toe. tristan threw in a move on lap two gapping us. from there on it was tristan and brian pulling at the front with jesse, kyle, and myself trying to close the gap. i pulled through after about four laps to give jesse a break. we threw in mini surges and finally managed to drop kyle. before i knew it the gap was coming down. with three to go we caught tristan as brian threw in another move. the three of us chased to no avail. on the last lap we went hard, started closing the gap. in the end it was a bit too big with brian winning, jesse second, myself third, tristan fourth, and kyle fifth. my cx technique was laughable. that's what you get when your first cross ride of the year is a race. jesse got to rock the new bob brown. im jealous. mine isnt quite done yet. we raced surprisingly well for having come down with some colds over the past week. one more week til the wors finale. hopefully it doesnt hurt as bad as it did today. thanx to kelly for the handups. pic stolen from lyle.

Nice work. Jesse's bike is a beauty, can't wait to see yours.

I've got my own star-y heart-y 'cross bike on the way, too!

good to see you boys sporting the stars and hearts again. good to see the mass stars and hearts turn out in almost all the cats.
