off-camber cross


tomek managed to appease the cross gods becuase they blessed him with perfect weather for his sunday death march. unfortunately winnipeg seems to have breed some fine-weather cross riders as there were smaller fields in both the b and a races. those that showed up were treated to a fine course with two sand pits (one that caused a lot of nose wheelies and piched me off course, taking out a marker and tape to mark the course), long slogs into the wind two runs up the big hill, a ton of off-camber sections, scary fast decents and a long speedy straight-away. the results should be up soon, but we do know that tomek managed to win the "a" event, beating a good field that included a new import from finland who raced his first manitoba event.

of course, i was psyched to wear the new fgbc colour for the race, including the "singlcspeed" hat. new hats are on the way and for $10 you can get a corrected hat (while they last i'll give you one of the others to boot). see you all at the meeting tomorrow (i will probably show up early to watch baseball if anyone else is interested).

ciao.
