Wind and rain was the name.... I thought I'd give cyclecross racing a try.... it's a good idea. Not to shabby for the first time round. I thought I held my own for running 42x16 (which is a horrible idea for me), but 30min into the race my load was a little heavy for the bead of my tire. After hitting my rear tire on a log I heard my rear bead give way with a sound that would represent a cannon. That was the end of the day for me.... now on to the next one! Maybe I (Scraggs) can get ole Blackbeard to join in the escapades!
