I have been doing these just as a running journal to keep my memory sharp and collect some notes on my experience from these races. <br /><br />Look for me as well at Vanier. I will be the tall dorky looking guy in the spandex. Totally not hard to miss...as for the sand, the right side close to the water was rideable, but I saw way to many people struggling through it.<br /><br />Cheers, <br />JWJoshua Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12329356382524197210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108307372581716770.post-25426050836040124112011-09-26T22:10:26.201-07:002011-09-26T22:10:26.201-07:00Thanks for the race summary!

This is my first year racing, both road and cyclocross.<br /><br />I ran the sand as well, seemed a bit risky to try and ride it :)<br /><br />I'll watch for you at Vanier! Say hi if you see a guy in a Fort Langley Cyclery jersey.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />AndrewAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205321747123634106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108307372581716770.post-5143087490254011202011-09-26T10:15:07.438-07:002011-09-26T10:15:07.438-07:00Thanks for the props Scott.

With that course, if everyone just backed off a bit until the grass, then things would have been way safer. But CX racing is battle at the start. See you at Vanier. Find me and say hi so we can meet in person!

Sorry to hear about your race, but good...Hi Joshua<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your race, but good write-up! That was a difficult start, from my vantage in the third starting row, I saw people sprinting into that corner, desperate to move up regardless of the consequences. I was surprised there was only contact and no crash in the turn, and that there was less carnage during that first ride up (walk up for the first lap). I saw you running your bike, and felt sympathy. I'm not sure if your heard me giving props as I passed, but running to the support and staying in the race was HUGE! Better luck next week<br /><br />scottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
