A total cycling day.

The day started with watching Cyclocross World Championships (the video on demand is still there if you want to watch it on universalsports.com)
Katie Compton took the bronze. She had a super lead for most of the race, but couldn't hold it. It was still her best season ever. Of course we watched the men's race too but who really cares about them.


The temperatures were finally cooperative enough to ride outside. It was glorious!! 37 degrees and sunny when we started out. Yes Lisa I put on sunscreen.

That trail was so full of slushy snow, it took us about 45 minutes to go 5 miles.....then we gave up and hit the pavement. It was fun for a while working on 'cross technique, but then it was just plain tiring.

After 3 hours with very strong winds, we were both pretty bushed.

Of course we let the bikes drip dry in the hallway.
Salt. Gross. Better wash the bike too.
