Nice trails and Viking Cross

November has been slow so far, but not as slow as I have been. I hit blue mound with the Kona the last two weekends and I think it is dialed finally. Big nasty Rampages front and back plus the rigid carbon goodness. All I plan on touching on the bike through next season is the pressure and the ratio. Hit up the Viking Cross race in Stoughton today. They had what they called the Wisconsin single speed cyclocross championship. 14 of us showed up and I rolled in at 9th. I didn't really warm up and popped again but the 38x16 sure felt nice. I still need to learn something about pacing for these CX races. The course was the cats arse. Lots of fast cornering with the rear always threatening to break loose. The new purple and orange Chainsmoker colors felt pretty fast, but again, I have no late season speed to lay down anymore. Afterward we hit up the Scandinavian burritos and drank some nasty sweet beer. I know it is just plain un-American to complain about free beer, but dude, it tasted like fruit.
