A tractor trailer trip from charm city with not a minutes delay at the GW bridge, new chainrings and a commuter train, a kings feast, a fine bed and the sound of harbor bells, sunrise over the edge of massachusetts and more splendid spoils, seeing a friend aproach sandbagger status within his first ten races on his BBW, power terds, 3 cups of coffee and an acid buffer energy drink, a waitlisted last row start, a 2nd lap flat, no 8spd cogs in neutral support(the mavic nine speed wheel was still better than the one i have) clickity clack back into the pack passing and having fun the whole time, seeing familiar faces in the midst of the highest caliber competition next and capping it off with more fine fare at the sunset puts Gloucester CX 2010 in the books. Always one of the more memorable weekends of my year, my thanks go out to essex county velo for putting on another great event at stage fort park and to all the competitors that came & had a good time racing their bikes, those that came to drink beer and shout or to just silently witness the spectacle, to the parents of two year olds on like bikes, to the industry that makes a product that is this much fun, to those that came out and provided us food and beverage the whole weekend. It is way more than an hour long race, I am glad it happens.

Scored some Craft water proof knickers that worked great for this morning’s wet windy commute as well.
Afraid I may have to be looking into having a frame fendered up before too long, my toes were cold this monday.
