Victory Ride and What to Wear?

I did the Victory Downingtown ride last night. Ben and Marc have been doing a brilliant job building new trails. The ride was awesome, very slick, zero traction, but a shit load of fun. I love riding this time of year in these types of conditions. As always we topped the night off with a few tasty tretas from Victory brewing.

Tomorrow night is my freind Jeff and Alana's Halloween Party. These guys go all out with the decorations and costume contest. As always I have waited until the last minute to come up with a costume. Rachael and i have been bouncing a few ideas around but have settled on nothing. So, tomorrow we will scramble around and try to come up with something cool. I will post plenty of pictures afterwards.

Well that's it, thanks for reading,

Getting Sucked in...

Tree Farm takes the win at Granogue.


Saturday was the Granogue cross race. I always volunteer to help Tom McDaniel out. He puts on one hell of an event, I am glad to be a small part of it. This year he out did himself. Not only was the weather typical cross weather, but the course was muddy, slick, hard and really fun. I decided to race the mens C race on my single speed mountain bike. I wasn't out to win I just thought it would be fun. There was like 45 or 50 people in the C class. I lined up behind Fort James and Fitzy. I was immediately spun out because the start was on a flat road. I still managed to hit the grass in the top 25. From that point it didn't take me long to move up. I tried to help James but he was not at his best. I evevtually worked my way up to 5th. I stayed there until the last half of the finishing straight, where a guy caught me, again I was spun out.

Congrats to Joe Foley for a nice win. He was in a lead group of 3 when two of them crashed and he attacked and never got caught.

fatmarc on the KILLER run up.

There is something special about Cyclocross. The whole atmosphere surrounding the race and the racers is awesome. I am definitely being sucked in. I would like to do a couple more races this year and maybe even train for it next year.

I saw one of the worst, yet most exciting Eagles games I can remember. The offense played terrible, but the defense and special teams were awesome. Not to mention the fire alarm going off in the middle of the game and nobody even flinched. I would hate to see what getting out would be like in an actual emergency.
Well I am off to class. Thanks for reading,
