The quarter ended and I bolted straight for Bend.
to meet up with Craig and Brian who drove down from Seattle to race in the cyclocross nationals. This is the night before the race. They'd raced the time trial that day, and Brian had gotten 6th. Afterwards they spent about 100 dollars at the Deschutes brewery, followed by more beers and pints of ice cream in the Days Inn hot tub.
race day.
This is all the pictures I have, cause the other half's on film. I'll spoil the ending though. US Olympian Adam Craig showed up and won everything by about a minute. Brian came in 17th, which is awesome, since everyone was riding at unreal speeds. Old Flat Tire Mcgee, Craig, flatted out right at the start of the second lap. But, last weekend, beat the guy who ended up coming in second at Nationals. Who knows what would've happened. It racing.
All the riders were great though. Everyone was going for it, and all the races were exciting to watch.
After the race ended, I left Bend and took the van for a drive.
