CDMBR Rocked.

Well, when I awoke sunday morning I felt like crapola.
Nixed the idea of rockin the Cave man.

Since I didn't get a hold of a fork to replace the cracked Misfit fork. I rode my monster cross Specialized Single cross with the Panaracer Firecross 45's.

The race was a blast. Right up until I flatted in the first section of single track. Musta pinch flatted. I guess I shoulda put a bit more air in the tires. Well after fixing that, I tried my best to catch every single rider that passed me and not to get caught by the fastest in the 2nd wave.
I ended up catching a bunch but the 5 min lost was never to be recovered. Seeing as I am not in the prime condition I had hoped to be in.

I tell ya the course was pretty grueling. It never let up on ya. Not really flowy, more technical and grindy. Especially on a cx bike geared at 39X18.I can't complain. I love suffering and pushing through to the end. The 2 laps just flew by.
I ended up surviving not getting caught from behind by Garage Monster Marc Risdale.
Pushed hard enough to stave off cramps until the last 500 meters on the road. I musta finished in about 25 overall and 4th in the SS cat.
Afterwards I had a great time chillin with mini me and all the good company of the SHCC and the other visiting racers.

I look forward to training for CX season and the up coming Hot August nights 24 hour MTB race.

Later
