Cyclocross II - Centennial Park
Oct. 19, 2009
The second cyclocross race of my life was, surprisingly, leaps and bounds better than my first. I don't know if that's an indication of how bad I was last week or if I'm actually learning this gig.

North American Masters Championship
Jun. 28, 2009
Sutton was outstanding this weekend. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun and was this relaxed at any race. Let alone a big stage race. It would have been even better if the team could have had the houses closer together but we'll figure that out nex...
