Cyclocross II - Centennial Park

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.

This year's edition of the Provincial TT Champs was a 40 km out and back with plenty of features making it more technical than the previous two years'. There were three turns in fairly close succession, quite a few false flats and a course that twisted enough to keep you guessing at wind direction.
