One for the books...

Hit the first CX race of the year after a rainy saturday down in St. Catherines for Fireman's Cross.  Great course and a good turn out for the Elite / M1 field and it was a battle from the start!!!  Lots of power flats, slippery run-ups and a few long peanut butter bogs made it a hard day in the saddle.... plus the fact that i was feeling good (and young!!) when i got into a group with Nathan Chown and Marco Li.  Ended up bridging the group up to Peter Disera and riding with him for a while (yes i'm bragging....)  Too bad it took everything i had and i fell off the group for the last couple laps, but managed to finish 5th overall and 1st M1.  Great, hard way to start off the season, and looking forward to more!!!

Slippery Run Down / Up that sent the HR soaring!!!

A couple good looking Bottles of Beer...  Trek Canada takes both podiums!!
A big thanks to the organizers at Real Deal.... and John Safka at cyclingphotos.com for the Pics and Podium beer!!!
