Labor Day Cyclocross Championships

The Labor Day Cyclocross Championship race was held today (hence the name). I didn't win my division, but did finish the race in 13th place. Not bad for my first Single Speed Cross race and running with gearing much more suited for commuting to and from work than for cross racing.

The weather was great, the course was great, all the kids won medals in the kids race and my whole family had a blast.

The Vanilla team came up from Portland and took the first two spots in the Elite Men's race. I know you can't buy speed, or skill, but dangit I am hoping that the Speedvagen brings me at least a little bit of the mojo that Shannon Skerritt and Molly Cameron have on a cross bike!
