Riding bikes around the DMV area and trying to get better at cyclocross! 🍻

Cyclocross was invented by big Bottom Bracket to sell more bearings 😩

@falkorburgcx went from a fast wet race for the first heat to an absolute swamp slog for the later fields. Not much crashing, but sinking so deep into the ground that running was often faster. Pushing tape to find green while begging my back to hold up to the torque, but it didn't and it was definitely a tough day out there for me. I'd actually be happy to have a few dry races now 😉

@charmcitycx mens cat 4/5 day 2! Had an issue with the front mount so just the rear camera here. Slippery conditions for day 2 and a lot of tired legs from day 1! Had the lead for half the first lap but knew from experience that glory is fleeting, tried to pace smart and held on for 10th 🦩 Awesome weekend of Cyclocross racing 🤘

Charm City CX Day 1 cat 4/5 men. Early morning rain on Saturday made us a fun dynamic course! Had a good start but the climbing and stairs wore me down lap after lap, tried to hold onto @lemmawool 's wheel when he caught me with 1 to go but couldn't quite keep up. Had an absolute blast though! Rear camera got jostled coming off the flyover but I still got some content when Henry passed me 😜
