dethroned


Sorry Ketchum you are now #2 on the worst cross course list. Dam Cross in SoCal just took over the top spot. I couldnt even finish the race yesterday my back tightened up so bad, I could barely pedal after 30 minutes and moving from the back to about mid-pack. The legs just shut down. Why? Well the course was 90% grass that was inhabited by gophers or prairie dogs or some sort of varmint. The grass was super hard and bumpy. Without the bumps it would have been a really fun fast course but the bumpy grass put it over the top. It was overall a fun trip but there is another course I wont be back to. We had the best accommodations and company in Downey, CA. Bart had a strong ride but flatted with a few hundred yards to the finish and ended up getting passed by a big group that was sitting on his wheel the whole race.

Anyone find a Powertap wheel left under the pavilion at Wheeler farm last week? Yeah I left it there after I warmed up. Yellow Powertap hub with a Roval Rim and road tire. Let me know if you see it??
