Day two of CX weekend,Sacto #3

I like this course, flat technical and the grass is real tight and FAST! Funny how one can get all stoaked for a douple dip specially when the start time is 1PM. Saturday night Got all my equipment ready to go in the Garage.

6 am: Sunday Morning, Man it's gloomy out there, the house is warm, coffee is good,Jammies are snuggly and I just got CXM issue #7! Man do I really want to brake this Folgers moment? Na I'm enjoying this quiet morning. Ummmm Oatmeal.

8:30 Guess I'll shower and do some stuff around the house. Dang it, I did house chores all last week, why should I waste this hall pass, I"m going racing!

9:30 All packed up headed for Sacto, ATM Get some Money, Coffee, Danish and I'm good.

9:42 Almost get pushed off the freeway by some doush-bag in a Suburban, GIDAFINGA-BUMPASS'S!

11:00 Arrive at Disco Park Sacto,Humm Not as big of turnout as last year, Probably because no NCNCA series this year. Fill out Reg, Talk to Cody Kaiser about his Euro season. He's glad to be back in Cali for some, ahem warm weather. I guess so compared to Belgium.

11:15 Start pre-race ritual,Preride course, Humm not a techy as last year, Guess it's the Tufo Flexus for today. Warm-up, What to do about pressure? 35/38 psi or 30/34 psi. bumpy, but fast, 30-34 it is.

12:50 Callup/line up

1:00 Staged rollout 35+ get a 60sec start,Nice. 1:01 Old Farts GO!!!!!!

1:01:12 Moving up through pack got the inside line, WTF! Flat on Ass in turn one, The front let go and hard. CRAP! should have used 35/38, DAMN!

1:01:20 Back on Feet, Chain back on. Going hard but watch it in the corners, watching the field move away with every turn, don't want to go down again.

1:05 Wheel pit, change wheel. Wheel on, GO red dog, go blue dog, go green dog,GO!

1:06~ 1:35 Catching riders in my field, 1,2,3,~10

1:39 2 laps to go, Crap I can't do this anymore,

1:40 I am soooo tired, How long can this go on,been working in a coalmine going down,down.

1:45 Rider #380 Your done! THANK GAWD!

All Said and done I still had a great workout, made some new friends. I chased the whole freaking race, caught a good 10 or so racers, but the real race was well ahead. Would have been nice to be in the mix but that's how CX is Gotta be ready and full on racing from the gun.
Next up Turkey dinner and some good ol mileage to burn off the T-day sins.
