Friends Racing Cross

Title says it all.
Here's some shot's of the Cheshire Cross race. Looked like a ton of fun. Quinn enjoyed it too, but I think the highlight of the race for him was digging a good sized rock out of the earth by the finish line.

I think if I raced cross, I'd love it too much, which is one of the reasons I don't race cross; I don't need another racing season...but watching it is making me think things!

Some of the back markers in the races didn't look like they were loving it though; looked like the living dead.

Waiting for the 3's start

"The Hill People" or "That noisy costume party" as Quinn called it.

Singlespeeder in a kilt. He was "almost" able to ride this one hill that everyone was running. I say almost because if there wasn't a geared rider walking it he would have made it.



Jerry racing the 4's


Kerry racing the singlespeed race. A last lap flat robbed him of a podium spot. Next time he'll have is Motobecane as a pit bike.

It was a great day, really. I remember being huddled over a fire in a barrel last year- probably 20 degrees tops. I wish I could join you guys Friday but of course I have to work as usual.

I'm sure you could manage to race at least on or 2 local races for next year. You don't even need a cross bike. Doug had cross tires on his ss 29'er. Thanks again for supporting your friends! We really appreciated it!
