Boss Cross #3

As always, the Boss Cross Race was super. Awesome course, super good scene.

I raced the ss race, it was 7 laps. I road pretty good the first 3, caught the leaders of the 4 race, but then dropped my chain. Took a bit of time to fix the bike, and a lap later I caught the leaders again. I road with them a while, then with 1 or 2 to go I got going again to win, so I keep the jersey.

I went and got my geared bike after the race, took a "new formula" clif shot espresso (100mg caffeine) shot. It was good. Lined up in the very back of the open race, at least 20 racers it seemed. By the 4th turn there was a 15 second gap it seemed between 4th place and 5th place, I was behind a big group but was able to get by in the sand. Ended up getting into 4th behind Andrew Coe. I wasn't aggressive as I should have been. If I'd killed it in the 2nd lap and caught Coe, instead of hoping to keep my lead ahead of Travis, I would have been better off. Instead, I kept 4th for a few more laps maybe 4, and got caught by 3 guys. I gave up here for a few minutes, until Bill and NIck caught me, I road with them for a while until Nick Attacked. Then I tried attacking in the sand, but couldn't get far. Nick beat me, I think I finished 7th or 9th or 8th. I raced 7 laps for the single speed and 10 laps in the open race. Melissa had a good time officiating, the look on the cat 3 faces when they came in after 2 laps and saw 8 laps to go was worth the full day of work for her.

Special thanks to the Boss Cross people, its the best series out there, December 4th is MOState Champs/BC #4.




I raced the chinese carbon wheels, they were super fast. There were some sections where you could go 30mph, they made it easy to go faster. Definitely worth it to buy carbon.

I've got c-4 hubs, more rims on the way. Do you want 1120 gram carbon tubulars for $650? Want 300 gram tufo flexus primus tires for $100/ea?
