I’m not sure how I did but I had fun.
Don has pictures too and I have a video If I can get it to upload.

On one of the laps I rode by a guy on a mountain bike. He looked at me and said “Hey, Bike4Fun Right?” I said “BIKE4MORE!!!!!!” and kept on riding. I hope that guy logs on here and identifies himself.

Thanks for the “whats up” random mountain bike dude.

Sunday Cyclocross races. I will be racing at 11:15. Be there or be lame.

Ride it or run it? You choose.
Zak

No more CrossTop levers. Ritchey WCS Stem, Bontrager X lite Bar.

No more front shifter.

Single Chainring. 44t 3/32 BMX ring. I have a chainring guard on
its way in the mail. The old 48T ring is there as a place holder.

Campagnolo Record Rear Deraileur I scored for $10 at Velo Swap.

Carbon post from I’m not sure where. It was in my parts bin and
lighter than the stock post.

I was able to cut 2.3 pounds off of the CrossCheck from its stock
build. The wheels helped alot.

The next race is this sunday. We will all be there with Beer, Food
and muddy feet.

I’m nursing a nagging back and shoulder muscle strain from the
cyclocross race so I decided to ride to work to try to work some
of the pain out.

So on the way to work this morning I thought,
“I can ride through there”

Not so much, they are fixing a huge pothole water hazard and
have dug a huge ditch in the road. Bummer……

Tires were low.

Fernie gave me some advice about the mudhole on the course
in-between sips of coors light.

First trip across the barriers ever!!

I made up some ground on a few people and then this happened.
I will do a write up on the stupidity that includes Surly’s choice for
a crankset. The chain not only fell off the inner ring it got
impossibly wrapped up around the posts that allow a third chainring
to be mounted this caused me to lose at least a minute to the field.
not that I would have had a chance in hell to win anyway but it
still sucked.

The first “Run-Up”

After dropping my chain and losing so much time I was able to
catch and drop a few guys in my category and most if not all of
the women and children. The website says I got last place but
I know I passed a few guys. Oh well it was fun and most of all
I was happy to finish all 4 laps.
