2012 BASP #3 - Sierra Point Night Cross


BASP #3 – Sierra Point Night Cross - November 10th 2012  
Brisbane, CA

Cyclocross race #2 !!! Slowly getting the hang of this thing. 

I still don't know how to start so I missed clipping in at the start of the Mens C Race and quickly ended up near the back of the 75 person field. The good thing about this "strategy" was that it was great for the self esteem. Even though I went the same slow speed the whole time I was able to pass 40-50 people over the 6 lap race, and finished in the top 1/3.

 The start of the Mens B Single Speed was a different story with the same ending. This time I clipped in just fine, but everyone blew past me at the start anyway. I learned a lot more during the second race. Everyone had such better lines through the course and by just following the guys in front of me I was able to score some quick lap times despite being dog tired. I finished this one around the middle of the pack.
