Mountain bike racing season is
mostly over (the “mostly” may lead to an interesting post in the future), and
right on cue, the Orbea’s bottom bracket goes south in the span of a 30
minute ride. One minute nice and smooth and quiet and then a rattling rough sounding mess.
Must be time for cyclocross
season. And a post about my “new” cross
bike is coming, I promise.
Anyway, the first cross race is
this weekend at Brookside Park in Indianapolis.
I wanted to several cross races, but did want to drive too far. With the
demise of the Indiana Cyclocross Series, I decided to focus on the Ohio ValleyCyclocross Series (OVCX) races that will be around Indy (3 total). As it turns
out, another series has risen up from the ashes of the ICX, called the IndyCross series. The series is very local, with 5 races, one at the Indy Cycloplex
near my house, and four at Trader's Point in Zionsville.
The race this weekend is
the first race of the OVCX series. I’ve
never ridden in the OVCX, so I expect large fields and stiff competition. I'll be rolling in the Cat 4 wave.
Hmm…I wonder what the race
predictor over at crossresults.com has me coming in.
Oh. Well the computer is telling
me to lower my expectations. We’ll see what happens.
Anyone else I know in the race? Oh look, its Aaron!
And he is going to beat me. According
to the computer. Actually, it might be right on this one. Race report will be
forthcoming…
