COTR18 - Day of Thunder (from two sets of eyes)
Kamloops Invasion
The VCXC Crew (and friends) made the long trek up to Kamloops this past weekend for the BC Interior Cross CactiCross double-header. Despite the name, there were no cacti to be found. Kudos to the course designers for maximizing space usage; although the park we were in was quite small and required a lot of doubling back, the course flowed well and never felt like we were sprinting down a series of dead straights into hairpins. Intermittent rain on day one left made for some greasy corners in the latter races, but things dried up and turned things quite tacky for day two. The beach sand along the river was, dare I say, the perfect consistency: firm, fast, and well-packed in spots and loose enough to let the bikes get drifty in others, and at the same time, not heavy enough to sound like it was imploding my drivetrain.

I'm back: Lower Mainland CX#1: Donkey Cross
Pardon my absence over the last few months. I’ll bore you with the details at some other point because I know all you really want are ‘cross photos. I’m sorry for the blatant lack of coverage of the novice/intermediate women’s field; I’m still adjusting to the new race day schedule and having them go off right after my field finishes means that I’m going to have to make some changes to my post-race changing/eating routine in order to not keel over AND do the photo thing. I’ll be better next time, I promise.
