i picked up an old cannondale cx bike from Doug at Big Shark and transferred the road groupo over. its a rockin' 1x10 with a 39tooth up front.
at herman cross under the lights though, things got off to a bad start. i was so psyched up for the race that not finishing was a huge disappointment. I nabbed the holeshot and held on for the first lap, then on the second got passed by a two guys, but kept them within about 5 seconds lead. on the third lap though, i fumbled the stair climb and ended up dropping my chain outside its chain guard. sadly, that's a tool and time requiring mechanical not simply a stop and replace type deal. my race was over.
i was pumped for sunday then, trying to get a little redemption. My father and i drove down there sunday to find the place underwater. no race today.
it was a disappointing weekend. I felt like i had legs and plenty of motive i never got to test. it was really nice being able to spend time with my parents though.
