Cyclocross season is upon us!
Tue Oct 7, 12:00 PM
I had a pretty fun weekend chasing the fast guys in Helena in the cross race at Cox Lake. The crew made it down for a technical race that had tough running sections and lots of single track. The course was ideally matched to my strengths, but I had some mechanical and bio-mechanical issues to overcome during the race and finished towards the back in the A race. Check out the full race report on Shawn Radley’s website: montanacyclocross.com. There is a link on the left of my page to get you there.
A highlight of this weekend is Halpin’s new rig. He bought a 1978 Mercedes Benz 300 Diesel on Saturday morning. $600 bucks is all that this beauty went for and the maiden voyage was a trip to Helena. This car will soon be loaded up six bike racks and ready for road trips. With any luck it will be parked in your driveway when we crash on the couch for the weekend!
The cyclocross season continues next weekend in Bozeman. A crew from the Flathead, along with the Missoula crowd will invade Ruffatto, the Steez, and Allie. The courses in Bozeman and Big Sky are always tough, but always excellent racing. I will keep you posted.
