Weather prediction for today wasn't good - showers all day with highs in the low 60's. However the day started sunny in the high 50's and only got better. This worked out well for most of my family that came out to see the race today!
Big props to Steve Weckle and Paul Rytlewski giving the 'cross race promotion gig a shot. The venues in Midland and SVSU are excellent and will hopefully be the sites of more races next year. Unfortunately the attendance today was pretty poor, but with Mad Anthony gaining popularity on Saturday it would be tough to fight for the remaining scraps willing to race twice on the weekend. Regardless, the race today was a blast and those that showed had a great day for racing.
The first race of the day for me was the team race. Riding under the title of Vandalay Industries, we cobbled together a group of four to race the other two teams that showed up. Mike and I decided to race the Tricross SS bikes for this one, since it isn't exactly taken too seriously. Paul and Steve are thinking of offering a beer shortcut for next year, which could get fun. Our win was rewarded with half gallons of BARTS beer from Bay City and containers of Heed as well. |

Put these the Midland and SVSU races on your calendars for next year. You simply can't beat the free food, free beer, great prizes, and awesome venues.
