Yup, not too many brain cells called in for work today, as I did the Brookside (Indianapolis) Cross Race.

Raced the "B" class and it never fails to amaze me the speed of the masters class riders. Couple that with those that make cyclocross a yearly endevor, and you end up with riders that flow through the course like water over a stone. Lots of Empella's and Indy Fab's running Zipp 404's, sigh, so lovely.

Handful of singlespeeders in the 70+ field, but thought they would all get whiplash as someone noticed, and announced, I was running fixed as they all snapped their heads to look. All I could do was grin.

Ran a IRO Jamie Roy with a cross fork. Geared 42x17 and rocking the Moustache bars. Gearing could have been a couple inches smaller, as the course had some pretty sharp turns and the ground was a bit sticky.

No results yet, as I left before posting. Hopefully they will post results soon on the site.

I know one of our members did a cross last year in Chi-town on a fixed, speak up and join the lunacy

Here's to the next race. . .
