Cyclocross Weekends 2, 3 & 4

Time flies when you're having fun. Just the short story for the last few weeks of CX. MTB highlights to follow once the WORS Overall Results are posted.

USGP CX at Sun Prairie: Very deep fields with some of the best from around the US. I finished 23 out of 70, and was the 3rd WISCO rider across the line in the Cat 1-3 35+. Burped a tubeless tire & dropped my chain early in the race. Made me a bit tentative. Other CFF racers did well = good experience overall.

WCA at the Domes: Fun race at a new course put on by My Wife Inc. Grant ended up 1st in Master 35+ Cat 4. Sean = 1st in Masters 45+ Cat 4. First win for both of these guys = awesome! Ben, Bryan, and Ryan were still putting the pieces together but showed signs of better things to come. I burped a tubeless tire (again) and had to stop for air mid-race. Made me a bit tentative again = 3rd in Master 35+ Cat 1-3.

WCA at Grafton: Fun race with on a similar course as last year. Huge climb that we struggled up every lap. 2nd win for Sean in Masters followed by a strong finish by Grant in the Cat 4 (3rd).  All of the other usual suspects were saving it for the WORS MTB finale at Sheboygan. I dropped a chain (again) and had to stop for a 1st lap painfully slow fix. Hardest CX race for me this year = 3rd in Master 35+ Cat 1-3. 11 times up the steep climb = ouch! These mechanicals should be behind me after some intensive bike rehab. Thanks for reading
