Great weekend of racing in Bend. This is one of our favorite places in Oregon. This weekend was quite a difference then racing Nationals last December. The course was super dusty compared to mud and ice in December.
The start on Saturday was insane. 80 guys riding into a dust storm with zero visibility was crazy. You just cruised through the dust hoping that you didn't run into anyone or anything on the course.
After 2 laps the dust settled a little and it was game on...I finished 11th on Saturday. This was my best result in a CrossCrusade.
Sunday was costume day for the racers. Most everyone was dressed-up, even 1/2 of the A racers. I chose not to as I was there to race. The heckling every lap for all of us not in costume was crazy. The Oregon cross scene takes their Halloween cross races seriously. They ran the course the opposite way on Sunday which helped with the dust. I had my best race and finally finished top 10 with a 9th place.
