Any sport you can grab money out of beer cans in a race is beyond low key.

He's also on an MTB with insanely low gearing which makes cross a lot less cross-like too.

I know, I know, I just thought it was an appropriate picture. The dude is wearing workboots, jeans, a t-shirt, and no helmet while flying over a pickup truck on a mountain bike. It wasnt a very serious cross race.

2nd annual race was yesterday, a bunch of us made the trip up from dc for this and it was sooo worth it.
the course was a blast, there was food and beer, and lots of nice folks hanging out. thanks much to all who came and to bilenky cycle works for putting this on.
it was even more fun than it looks
congrats to ryand for winning the b race.
