Between this colorful bovine, the artful waffles, and fabulous racing, I guarantee I'll return to this venue. Waffle with bananas, strawberries, Nutella, whipped cream, AND powdered sugar:
I thought the course offered a little something for all tastes and thoroughly enjoyed the thrashing I received from the terrain. Run ups and off cambers, combined with twisty turns and some wooded single track made for a great course. With the exception of the Bilenkey Junkyard Cross, how often do you run across one of these on a course?
CAPTION CONTEST: WHAT IS BP THINKING?
Kat looks like she's doing something unspeakable to this wheel.
THE STUD AWARD: Goes to Kelly Cline.
SPECIAL THANKS:To all the people who cheered despite receiving scowls and possible spittle (that includes D. Lowe and Glen, the other Zoomer), as well as announcer Joe Jefferson who made me feel super-duper. And a big thank you to Colin (I know I'll regret this) and Julz's pop for pitting for me. After tumbling ass-over-toptube down the hill and then having catastrophic seat tube failure, it was nice having you two in the pit to help me out. The seat height was perfectand I only have minor abrasions from running into my bike. A comedy of errors defines my racing! Hopefully, there's no photographic evidence.
Lots of dirty, rotten Philly crossers came to Southampton, and those who didn't make it were missed. The dinner at the Publick House Saturday night was a hoot, with dozens of racers infiltrating the establishment.
Gotta go register for Phelps. See you there!
