Cross Riding

So I jumped into my 2009 cross racing season last weekend. After months of training (not), I lined up with friends in the Men's B class at the Cow Palace in SF. Pretty sweet course---steep downhill had me nervous at first, and the 3+ stories of stairs to climb 9X hurt as usual. Best part? Having Jake there to cheer me on, nothing could compare...

I finished.

Life has been pretty good/interesting/fun/challenging...2010 is gonna be a trip.

Thanks Christina for sweet video.

Thanks Veronika Lenzi for photos, I grabbed low-res to share with family only...

Last Friday we headed up Redwood Rd to Mt. Veeder and beyond... towed Jake on tag-a-long with some pushing help from Curtis and Co. in a few spots... Made it up by 9:30, had a late dinner, some star watching and then sleeping on the ground... Woke up the next morning high above fog line, ripped a dirt and road descent and enjoyed breakfast at our friend Chino's restaurant, "First Squeeze"...good times!
