Well – season is done folks.

Finally. I say that as if we’re ready for it to end…and we are/were, yet it was our best season yet. Wins at Trans Andes and the defense of Rotem’s  national title, a dozen stage wins, top tens in every Pro XCT, a heap of back yard victories for all of the guys and gals in their respective regions – in everything from ‘cross to STXC, Marathon to good old fashioned point-to-point races. Heck, a few of us even hit Premier Elite flying status, and I’m only one trip short of 100k Club, but that’s not going to happen, unfortunately.

Last week at the Palo Duro Marathon, Sager took another V, then, after putting in almost 4hrs on the bike, tackled stage 1B of the day – another marathon of driving, 9 hours back to Durango to join Snyder for the local Durango world CX champs. Snoodles fought it out with the Bear at the back of the pack, and Sager battled the Captain (Ned Overend) for the top spot amongst the old guys (though Sager’s 37 to Ned’s 56 isn’t quite fair).

A few pics from the Utah – CO – TX trip

Quick dirt road ride in southern CO

Parking and racing inside a big hole in the ground, Palo Duro Canyon.

50 miles of this.

Pies for prizes.

Since we lost a camera on this trip (not from the housing, but somehow during the charging process) here’s a vid to get us through this tough transition into winter…its a fav, at least for me.
