Well kinda…

Its deep in to road season, cross has been over for a while and there was certainly no USCF officials. Good thing since there was maybe one or two bikes that would have been legal. Most people were riding their normal track bikes with 23c slicks. The winner road a carbon mountain bike. A few people had the foresight to put knob’s on their bikes. The course a four mile loop around Randals Island had us wading through a small river, a sand pit, mud, rock pits, more mud, gravel, grass, and even more mud. The top five finished in about an hour with the winning speed averaging out to a blistering 8mph.

My race went like this.

Lap 1: My non-drive side crank arm fell off.

Lap 2: I got lost.

Lap 3: I crashed.

Lap 4: I did everything right passed like 12 people and got 5th. Crihs took 2nd and in my mind 1st since riding a carbon mountain bike was really not the point of this event.
