Power, Rain, and a Pending Throwdown

Add 1500 young people to a campus without power and you have a perfect concoction for chaos. Now that power has been restored to our local institution of education, we can get back to the important things in life, learning and blogging.

Looks like it is going to be wet tonight, so grab your "man up" shorts and bring it! Snow levels remain too high to effect the trails, so it is just the wet we will have to deal with.

Saturday marks the last edition to this years Sac area CX series...game on for all those vying for top spots.

Sundays ride was spirited to the end. We had a peleton of six, Rock, Councilman, NoHandle, Cap'n, Bambi and me. Rounded off near the 50 mile mark with Rock taking the unofficial unofficial sprint and either NoHandle or Cap'n taking the official version of the unofficial sprint at Dave's. They were too far up the road to see. I think they announced the winner but the oxygen deprivation clearly led to some short term memory loss. Would the rightful winner please claim victory!

    I won after a great lead out - but it is unofficial as of yet.

  2. I think Cap'n and NoHandle were there to witness my escape at the 2nd to last rise on North Canyon; I thought it was a classic Stijn DeVolder move, reminicent of the his last two Flanders wins. :-)

    I've got a legit excuse for not riding in the rain and mud this week; I'll drink a pint of local northwest brew and toast FT3 tonight.
