Heiser Farm is the kind of race that reminds me I like racing BECAUSE I suck at it

I’m (re)writing this narrative in February 2021, after receiving the disappointing news that Alpenrose is permanently closed to recreational use.

I could’ve won the race Saturday. Well not Saturday Saturday but Saturday in an alternate universe where I had about 10% better bike handling skills....

What was remarkable about yesterday’s race was its unremarkableness. I staged in the middle and finished in the middle. Given my track record in Cat...

(Writing this report about two weeks too late.)
Weather golden, cool windy and dry after a rain. Ground tacky, not dusty, not muddy. Fast

I misread the start list on Athletepath for this race and for two days thought I finished 31 of 35. Which TBH felt about right....

Very quick report, I have other things on my mind. Rode to the race; weather early was warm and almost sunny. Minutes before my start...

I can do about 2 laps of Category B. 69 of 116

TL;DR:
First ever race in Category B. Inauspicious but not embarassing finish. 27 of 50.
Not too much to say here. Weather started cool, rain...

I planned so well for this race.
I calculated that, depending on the field size, I would need only a 10th to 15th place finish...

Winter Cross was muddy, chaotic, slippy, flat out climbing fun. This was classic Pacific Northwest Cyclocross, right down to the beer sponsor. Just spectating the...

On Facebook, Thom remarked:

I, on the other hand, had the legs (and staging) for...

I am so glad Jenny and Thom talked me into racing this. I was going to skip it: too much work, no callup, and a...

Rereading my race report from two years ago demonstrates how far my racing has come. Despite being Not My Kind of Cyclocross (too dry! Too...

One of my least favorite (and favorable) courses but a great race. Finished 12 of 201; now 11th in series.
Weather promised warm (70°!) and...
