Well there was no mud. Instead there was slippery snow and icy corners. Totally different riding. The course was a gas, very technical, a series of trying to get up to speed and then trying like hell to keep the rubber down in the corners. I took a lot of work to keep the rubber down and I'm sure it cost me a bunch of time. This morning after I think it was a good experience and great fun. I won't try to describe it further because I think you'll be able to see lot's of video. During Sal's race the top of the runup froze and the off camber remount had riders falling and sliding down the hill that followed on their backs about 20 feet.
The scene here is like Cross Crusade on steroids. Announcer screaming, spectators everywhere, Huge expo (i'll see today) and it was really great to here Cross Crusaders yelling for me.
Richard Marantz placed 4th in the 65 - 69 Cat. Only 16 of the 23 entered showed up for the 60 - 64 Cat. and I place somewhere in the to 15. Note to self: be fitter next year and save some of it for Nat's. I don't know where Sal placed but I'm looking forward to his report.
