Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The weirdest moment from today's race; there were at least half a dozen photographers (real photographers, not folks with iPhones) at the barriers taking pictures.

It did not rain at our CX race today, but there were other hazards.



The twisty, heavily rooted section was diabolical.



I did get to use the big ring for a bit on this stretch of gravel leading down to the paved start/finish area.

We went out to dinner with some friends and left a big bowl of candy at the front door with a sign that said "Take Two."

We came back to an empty bowl. Mrs datlas said "wow, we never had so many trick-or-treaters!!" I told her it was probably just a few greedy kids.

At least 25 kids so far. 8:00 pm.

Bailey wants me to tape rulers to his legs, so he can trick or treat as a normal dog.

So many things to celebrate, thought I'd try something different. I'd highly recommend, very tasty.
