part duex.....

i finished todays riding with an evening ride with cliff van clief. cliff is the owner of THE HUB BICYCLE SHOP in down town hespeler. he is the one that got me into cyclocross, as he is a die hard for that. as we were riding tonight, just as the dark started to creep in, i mentioned that a very specific x-race was added into the calendar for the x-season. the race is at GARRETT FARMS. this is the first cross race that i did with cliff....and, at one pont during the race, also my last.....for about 2 weeks....lol....that i swore i would never do again. but, once bitten by the bug, its in your blood. we ran more than any other x-race i have ever done. just nothing but black topsoil for as far as the eye can see and about 3 ft. deep at its shallowest point. and it snowed, and rained, and snowed some more.....and the wind decided to chime in as well. they had some awesome kerosene heaters in the barn...thats right, a barn, where u got dressed in one of the stalls, with the animals still wandering around too....mind the poop. cliff loves the race, and is pumped even more now than ever since it hasnt' been used for a couple of years. believe it or not, i cant' wait either. :)
