CX,Lawrence KS

Randy, Hoppe, Crook, Brad and I headed down to Lawrence to do a Cyclocross race. You know, we might be getting the hang of this a little bit. We changed our fat mtb knobbies to small tires and changed our gearing with helped out tremendously. Randy brought his cross bike, but its to large for him, which makes the dismounts a bitch..
The course was much better for us than Parkville as it actually had some hills to navigate...
Hoppy here dressed up for a F-ing blizzard!Hoppe actually brought out his trainer. Can't quite figure out if that was a joke or not..
Sure as hell will be one now!!! Relieving some pre race tension!!
Race underway, me on right with the red/black top, black pants..
Hoppe spoten his Shores Sports Jersey (on right), looks like he is movin over those obstacles.. Whatever they call them..
Randy (in black, 122) finishing up the obstacles..
With cat like agility!!
Hoppe going over the cow town obstacles, lookin like he has some spring in his legs still.
Hoppe
Hoppe looks like he has a battle goin on...
Me, same spot..
Hoppe finishing the race.. I think in 23 out of 51.. There were a bunch of fellas out there for this race.. Cat 4 by the way..
I have a lovely sprint at the end of my race, I could see this guy coming up on me I barely held on by inches...
Thus about making me toss my cookies... Seriously this Cross stuff is intense, and FUN as HELL!!
Randy Post Race!!
So we got three of us going to these things.. I think BradBob is next.. Anyone else who wants to go I am telling you they are fun... They do it by time, so we knew going into it that it was going to be a 30 min race...
BTW, I got a NICE pic of Randys pre race ritiual duce.. You would think he would learn!

Nice work fellas!

Jason, it was nice riding with you on Friday. Thanks for taking the time to show me around.

I went back on Saturday. It was even more fun the second time! You guys did such a fantastic job. I almost can't believe that St. Joe has a trail of that quality and it wouldn't even be there if it wasn't for the hard work of just a few individuals. You should be proud of yourselves!

Let me know if there's anything I can ever do to help.
