Mr. Gill and the Fair Grounds didn't disappoint the hard core crossers who showed up for our weekly sermon. The only muddy race day in the Bay Area this season was a goodie. I was a little jaded after the epicness of Portland's USGP monsoon and KC's Natz blizzard, this Sunday was good rain.
as per normal I was sans camera for this one, so all the pics are stolen from the Boss, Lauren and maybe Rob...
The Pit was off in a far corner of the course but it was a really nice set up and being the fair grounds water wasn't a problem. The wash station looked to be a livestock cleaning station for the 4H'ers, on sloping concrete (nice drainage) with an asphalt road butting up to it. It had 5 nicely pressured spickets and four race supplied hoses... score I brought my own.
I really didn't need brushes for most of the race; the water took most of the mud right off. I did grease a few chains and it seemed to help out a little.
Stella killed it during the women’s race on her SS. Her SS in my favorite bike on the team, I hope she drops it off so I can clean it up for the off-season.
The guys got the worst rain of the day but it kept the bikes cleaner then the earlier clay-ier races
DodgeBall lead out the race for the first couple of laps then mechanicaled and got a wheel from the boss on the back side of the course. Tim rode like an animal getting second to Howie and taking the overall in the series.
A good race to end the season on.
