Everyone knows that some days are better than others. And while Sundays are typically very busy for us, they are also some of our better days. We have a lot jammed into the day. This picture was just one of the highlights!
Another solid segment of the day was the cyclocross race at Queeny Park. I've committed to racing the A group this year, feeling that it's my sworn duty to receive a beat down at least a few Sundays in the fall.
A course very much to my liking, despite the need for a lot of power, the turns and changes in direction were key. As usual, I started off as if I were being chased by an angry pack of Velociraptors and actually held a nice advantage until the end of the first lap. I got passed a couple times, and passed back, too. In the end, I was greatly satisfied with 4th place. My beautiful wife heckled me a lot each lap, too.
When we got home, I had missed a visit from my wonderful daughter. She did leave me with a parting gift, though. My favorite coffee cake from Hoeckele's bakery in Perryville. Thank you, sweet girl!
I almost forgot! The day started early at Cliff Cave park. Our Dirt and Donuts series with the Trek Store had it's 3rd edition yesterday. Even more people showed up this time and it was awesome! Deanna and I get a lot of satisfaction out of the excitement riders get when they learn new skills and conquer obstacles. One more of these next week and we will call it good.
