Cow Pasture

I guess I'm not done yet for the season. I raced in Arcata today. It was a really small race in a cow pasture. There was some single track. The course was rough and bumpy. It was fun though. I had an overall good time. Again, though, I felt like I just barely survived. I must get into better shape next year. They had a 30 minute and a 60 minute race. Naturally I raced the 30.

If you look carefully you can see the cow pies. You can also see all the cars that were there. I think there were only 25 or 30 racers.











It was a pretty setting for a race even if it was bumpy.












The after race activities included grilled hot dogs and beer provided by the race director. The raffle was great. This was his last race of the year and he wanted to get rid of everything. He gave a nice multi-tool to everyone who raced. I won one of the raffle items which consisted of two large containers of Heed powdered drink mix, a 26 serving Hammer Gel with flask and a hydration pack. It was worth the drive down.





The next two weekends are races in Eugene. I don't know if I'm going to do them. It's a long enough drive that I would have to spend the night before the race. The weather is getting shitty. It's supposed to snow in Portland this weekend for the USGP races.
