Damn! Looks like a good time was had by all. I think Glen has the best form though. Way to rock the cooler! Wade
Good to see Tom's back in one piece again! He had an injury in the XC races this summer.
I like the blog! I am new to blogging, and would like to refer to yours on my site. Check it out if you want, http://spokanesportsscene.blogspot.com/. I'm not much of a cyclist, but would love to have input from someone who is.
Nice work,
Jon
Boy, this post looks like a plug for Elephant bikes!
;-)
Jon, how was the first CX race?
Rachel: it is. We had a mission to get lots of Elephant shots for Glen's new website. I should do a blog post that clearly idenifies me as an Elephant shill. I can't be considered an objective source of info where Elephant is concerned.
The first cyclocross race was awesome. Alot of fun. I ate shit, go scrapped up, and about half way through was questioning my sanity and why I would ever pay to do something like this. however, when I was done I realezed how awesome it was and how much I want to do it again.
My riding style to date does not lend itself to cyclocross, think long steady rides vs hard intense short ones, so I will have to adjust that. I rode way to slow, didnt push nearly hard enough, and was content to just feel out my first race. I came in dead last and I'd like if that didnt happen again.

Cool - looks like fun. 'Cross season is in full swing here in Seattle as well.
