Owens Valley Cyclocross Finale

Sunday we held the seventh and final Owens Valley Cyclocross for 2010.

The weather was spectacular, 70 degrees and not a hint of wind.

Hence the turnout was terrific.
Nemo's course layout was super fun with twists, turns, and runups.

Here he lines up to ride the short hill that everyone else had to run.
And this is me running said hill.A group of four of us got off the front early, but Nemo's steady, grinding pace gradually took its toll and we found ourselves riding on our own.
I was able to muster a satisfying second place, while Nemo (center) made it look easy, and BxCx (right) rolled in just behind me.
Fine Belgian Style Ale was soon consumed (after the PBR) along with some delicious Brats.

Thanks to all that showed up and made this the best 'cross season EVER in the Owens Valley!
