Veterans Park Cyclocross

I continued my illustrious cyclocross career this weekend entering the "B" race at Veterans Park in Ann Arbor. Jason Boynton and I rode together for about half the race. He put some time into me on the barriers, and I wasn't able to bridge back up, so I ended up in second. I've determined I need to run the barriers, rather than jump them.

I corrected all my n00b mistakes from last weekend, though, and even managed to learn how to shoulder my bike by watching some cross vids on YouTube.

Here are some sick-gnar photos:

I'm pretty sure I'm going to call it a season for cyclocross, but it is a ton of fun, so I may have to do another race. We'll see.

Regardless, I think I'll race cross in the "A" category next season, since I won't be racing the collegiate mountain season. However, all that is still up in the air, seeing as I only have my life planned up until May 2010 so far.

Now, time to taper for Iceman!
