This Wednesday there will be a practice cyclocross ride at Eastwood park. Warm up/pre riding will begin at 4:00 with a 10 lap practice "race" beginning at 4:30. It is a fast/fun course and a good final tune up before the State CX Championship next weekend. Below is the Garmin data from last Thursday's event before massive crankset failure cut the event short(it wasn't my bike, but it did make me check everything for tightness when I got home). connect.garmin.com/activity/18100431 |

figured out that I had missed a washer the first time around (or did I just never get it)... surprised it lasted as long as it did. Luckly, the BB threads are a lot stronger than the aluminum bolt so the bolt got wrecked but nothing else major (it did break a chainring which wasn't immediately apparent) Crank is now fixed and seemed to work at the cx race today.
I put in a request to "flex" my hrs such that I'll be able to attend this wednesday.

We had a record turnout for the practice CX event. Thanks to all that attended. We modified the course and added a bit to it, so now laps are .94 miles. My GPS lap marker was too close to where the course crossed itself, so sometimes it took a lap when it shouldn't have. After the race, we found a lost cat that was quite friendly. Silence was kind enough to take the cat with him to keep it safe and try to find it's home. (there really aren't any houses that close to eastwood, so who knows where it came from).

Thanks for organizing this. Had a blast even though I got lapped and only did 6 laps. Great workout. Thanks again, hope there's more.
