Bamacross #2 - Tuscaloosa

:)

Bamacross #2 was hosted by the Tuscaloosa Velocity Pro Cycle at Sokol Park. The weather was a little cool at the start with a north-east wind. The sun was bright and it quickly warmed-up, but remained pleasant. Jeff Dorminey and Carl Viars represented Cycle Escape with about 8 riders from Chain Reaction. Jeff D. raced in the Masters' 45+ and if that wasn't enough he also race in the B race. Two 45 minute races in one day is a big chore. Jeff placed 4th in the Masters' 45+, he was racing against some of the best riders in the state. I raced in the C's and barely managed 13th out of 18, barely meaning it was a sprint finish with some guy from GCC. It was a fun course and of course an opportunity to work yourself over.
Jeff and I will attest that cyclocross is the most enjoyable of the cycling races.

Next week is the Chain Reaction Cyclocross race at Cooter's Pond Park.
