Cyclocross Practice of Doom



OK, a bit dramatic but we were not without our share of issues. A good group of boys and girls from the team got together at SeaTac this morning for a little cyclocross practice. The blackberries are still out in force so we were not without our share of flat tires, or maybe Tim just kept running into the bushes. :)

Steve takes the cake for "best chain suck" I have EVER seen! He was womping on the pedals pretty hard when it happened. You could tell bu the sound of it that tings were not good. That is a SRAM Rival derailure in case you couldn't tell, and yes, it is coming out of the OTHER side of the wheel where it was supposed to be.

Things went downhill from there with Bart wrecking in the sand pit and finding a nice rock underneath, messing up his elbow. (hoping it's not broken) Can we get an update on that my friend?

To finish it off I took Tim out on a small uphill technical section while racing back to the infield. No major injuries and the new bike is OK. Whew!

Looking forward to Copper Cross next week!

And, it's official now! Starbucks Cycling Grad Prix will be November 1 at Pacific Raceways! Stay tuned for more details.

With all that excitement I didn't want to push our luck and try jumping over Ed. We'll get him next time!
