Working on cyclocross skills this month. Participated in an unsanctioned pickup race last night after work. Turned 9 six minute laps on a 1.4 mile course. 30+ CXers showed up. Sand pile, couple of sets of barriers, an off camber section, and plenty of rough dirt road to put the pedal to the metal and max out the heart rate.

After the race I put my little commuter backpack on, aired up the tires, turned on the lights, and cycled 25 miles back home in the dark. Tired but felt good.
First sanctioned race on Saturday morning. Yeah!
MTD: 53 miles
YTD: 9,103 miles
