This Weeks race was at Kruegers on Sauvie Island. It was pretty cold but clear and good conditions, at least compared to Hillsboro the previous week. I did better than last week even though I started at the back and had to make my way forward. Next race I’ll start closer to the front. Both Matt and Ingrid did well again. Here is Ingrid running the barrier

Friday, November 23rd, 2007Cyclecross Hillsboro Stadium
Sunday, November 18th, 2007This weekends race was at Hillsboro Stadium. I thought it was time to get my ass kicked again so I raced as well. I put knobbies on my commuting bike and took everything else off to make it a little bit lighter. It was a pretty muddy race but lots of fun. It seemed it was over faster than last time and I had paced myself a bit too much and didn’t push as hard as I should have. Now Keevin, he pushed himself and fell on his boys and nose. There are a few pics of him in pain. At the end I saw a guy was about 10 bike lengths ahead of me and tried to sprint and catch him but lost by a half wheel length. I think I pulled a Carl Lewis.

Saturday, November 10th, 2007Alex came out to Portland for work and stayed at our place for two nights. This is his out of focus picture. We took him to see Blade Runner, which bored everyone but me and Keevin, and for some beer afterwords at a "Portlandy" place.
On Saturday morning Clif decided to come over and hang out for a little bit before I went to run stairs on Mt. Tabor with May, Jami and Mo. Clif has put on a little winter weight but is still a cute little fucker.
