I didn't do well at the last cross race. I road once all week, felt rested but I guess too rested. Went into the first few turns in perfect position, 4th wheel, then the guy in 3rd crashed on an off camber turn, I went off the course and the whole field passed as well as some of the 2/3 racers(they were started 10 seconds after us.) I didn't really like the course, no good feel to the land at all. Having a downhill dirt start into a 120 degree corner wouldn't have been my idea either, nor having the finish on a descent. Judges hate that. I know they hate that because my wife has been an official for most of the cx races, she hears it all. There is a lot more to putting on a cx race than putting up a bunch of stakes and blowing a whistle.
I've ordered a set of these. It'll be a $500 1250 gram wheelset with a/c hubs. Should be ready by jingle cx.
Gonna build up my blue ex as an ss for this weekend. Gonna be pretty light. May go to Kentucky and race ss but still on the fence.
I've got tufo flexus 32 tires(thegood ones) for only $100 each. Challenge grifo 30mm tubulars for $55 and vista cruiser 1650 gram tubular wheelsets for $200.
Race Tomorrow, I'm in the leaders jersey here.
