Saturday I did a warm up race in Salem. Two interesting things happened...

#1. while riding across a wet bridge in a straight line, a 7'2/450lb Sasquatch kicked my front wheel out from under me. I ate shit so hard that somehow I managed to bounce off of both hips, two sides of one knee, a shoulder, and push both shifters to 90* inwards. I'm going to catch that Sasquatch.

#2. I cross pollinated "hot" embrocation and chammy cream.

Sunday.

Trebon worked us in the Cross Crusade. He wasn't even trying so 2nd isn't too bad. The course was a perfect mix of fast, slow, sticky, slick, and rowdy. On the rowdy run up I was running so slow that Sheppard heckled me while we were racing. I guess that's pay back for the BC Bike Race heckling, eh?

Finally. The real show.

Single Speed Cyclocross World Championships.

I took a boat load of pics...and a couple of videos, all found here. And really, there are a TON of gems in that set...its time I get a real camera, this one is worked.
