Thanks to everyone who came out and supported Hilly Cross on Saturday! We couldn't really have asked for better weather, considering how wet & windy it's been the past few weeks and how nasty it turned out to be on Sunday for the Seattle CX race down in Sedro Woolley. I'll take a sporadic, chilly wind with some sun poking through any day in November! Hey, we only damaged one tent.

Hordes of ravenous 'cross fans huddled on the burial mound, cheering over the arctic-ish blasts while I raced with the A's at noon. You can't really judge a course without racing it, so that's what I did. Then I could relate to my friends on Sunday who were punished by the mud down in Sedro Woolley and complaining about heavy legs. I thought Hilly Cross was a great warm-up for that flattish course. I also heard you about the organic matter discovered in the thick mud section. Somethings on a course you don't know about until it's too late. Sorry, we'll avoid the poo next time.

I've posted your podium finishers in preliminary fashion. I'll get the official results with lap counts & total race times posted over the next few days. Thanks for your patience - I'm sort of a one-man army on a lot of the follow-up and follow-through for these races.

The volunteers on Friday & Saturday, including -- Rob Trombley and all the guys from Recycle Cycles Racing, Harvey Varga, Jim Clevenger, Rob Tierney, Luke, Chris Ellis, Jeff Cummings, and Courteney -- were hugely instrumental in pulling off a big course like that! I was impressed with the cooperation and fun level we achieved.
