hellishly cold and rainy temps were in store today for the next race in the cleveland cross series. constant rain led to light snow back to rain - for the entire race.
muddy conditions were in effect for the course with no dismounts but two hellishly brutual run ups.
start was fast, nate got his guns firing and never looked back. i slipped back to fifth on the first lap, and chased away. i managed to bridge up to 4th, dropped him and then did the same to get into 3rd. it was one of those days you either have a good day or not.
i had a so-so day, didn't have the goods. great job to nate who looked strong and managed to extended his gap the last few laps. this result now inches him towards my first place in the series with 8 points seperating us.
next stop in the series - Boughton Farm next sunday.
course is mainly flat, and should have at least 2 double barriers. tends to favor the roadies as it has a lot of flat sections and the wind seems to be nasty out there as it is wide open with no cover.
and - with any luck, i may be riding my new reynolds status cross wheels. hella light with tufo tubular cross tires.
that's it - gotta dig the mud out my ears.
sologoat out.
