Last Rail-Trail to Masontown before CX Nats
Woodburn, West Virginia, United States
Cyclocross | 24 miles
Cyclocross | 24 miles
What a beautiful evening, no rain, and warm breeze (at least for December).Didn't go quite all the way to Masontown, cause it was getting late, it was a little wetter up there, and we still need to do some packing.Turned around at the Gene's Bench. Thought of him and hit the downhill hammering.Excellent efforts though.We are now ready for Nats. Bring It On!
Capitol 'Cross, MAC Final, Reston, VA
Crowells Corner, Virginia, United States
Cyclocross | 1.8 miles
Cyclocross | 1.8 miles
Nice course as usual.A bit "open" , but actually a nice and varied course.Very windy and biting cold.Always a good time at Capitol 'Cross and with the folks from Potomac Velo.
Cold and biting wind.A little hard to get motivated.May have been a bit much.Prepping for Nats though!
What a terribly late start and oh so cold.Just me and Betsy and we were on our SS bikes running 2:1. A bit spun out on the way down.
So crappy out, had to walk this lap.Nice course, fast when dry, still ridable when wet.Still get shivers up my spin when thinking of the race.
JAMCXTR, Just Another Motown Crosstown Ride
Morgantown, West Virginia, United States
Cyclocross | 26 miles
Cyclocross | 26 miles
Fun, Fun, Fun!Just look at that elevation profile. Cool!
Nice course, had to move location a little because of pool building going on.In some ways better, in some a little less.Mostly the finish wasn't open enough in a couple ways.I liked the road/biketrail section, Betsy did not. Fun time of course.
Tired now.Going around the Law Center "Roundy Round" was good!
Nice group, little chilly, little snowy, little sketchy.Just right!
Just me and Betsy.Had a great time though, plenty of fog and speed!7 deer, 2 bunnies, 1 opossum, 1 field mouse, 1 mountain lion hiding as a bench.Missed you folks!Average speed - 15.6 mphRiding time - 1:45:24Oh and we went to the Bike Board Parking subcommittee meeting as well, that's the extra time there.
Riding around, looking for courses. Havin' some fun.

Cyclocross | 1.7 miles
Very urban.Big warehouse right there in the middle. Check it out in Satellite Map.
Not sure why, but the elevation gains have been way-whacked lately.Fun day out and around town w/ the CX bikes though.
Fun, fast, and sometimes furious course.Lots for everyone!

Had to stop and chit-chat w/ Marc for a little, but that's the course!It's buff like a baby's behind.
Fine day of riding three (actually four, we split Marilla up into two) courses and cruising through town to do it. Nice, kind of wet day.
Nice course, cool venue.Big party.
