Cyclocross, Interbike

Well the Cross season has started. For the moment I haven't been training much, spent 8 days during the middle of September hunting elk in the East Kootenays. It was awesome, saw about 100 to 200 elk, lots of mule and white tail deer, one fox and one moose.

Star Crossed (starcrossedcx.com) was quite muddy. It was pouring rain almost right up to our start. I was a little nervous about my form but that's what you get for not training . I finished 18th. Wendy took second in the women's race. Ryan should have won, but clipped a lapped rider when trying to pass and crashed, he finished second. Barry finished 6th. The next day was was sunny for the Rad Racing GP. Rad Racing puts on an awesome event, always playing AC/DC on the run up. I spent most of the race riding with two Rad Racing kids, and I ended up finishing in 18th place, again. I should give my team-mate Wendy a shout out for winning her first race of the year. Ryan finished 2nd, and Barry nailed 6th.

Las Vegas and Interbike were awesome, got to see lots of people. I spent most of my time between the Kona and Cove crews. It is the first time I have ever spent whole days at the show, so I was up at 7 am, finished the day at 5 pm, and then was out until 1 or 2 am. I did that three days in a row and was quite tired by the end. I was planning on doing Cross Vegas, but I didn't register in time so I couldn't race. Ryan defended his title by winning, and Barry hung in there and beat Lance Armstrong.
