Tough day at the Tacchino Cross.
Ran over my team director 1 minute into the race. Rode around in a
daze for a lap. Then the encouragement of a lot of friends around the
circuit flipped a switch for me and I started racing. Thank you
everyone. I ended up having good legs and worked my way through a
bunch of groups to get somewhere around 10th, give or take a bit. I
had hoped for more prior to the start, but given the circumstances I'm
very happy with my ride. Hats off to my teammates Kris, fatMarc, & Jan
who also battled back from some bad luck. Thank you to my bro's in the
pit and friends around the course for keeping me going. And thank you
to Squadra Coppi for providing a high quality race, albeit on a
punishing track. ;-) Gonna be hurting on Monday.

KBS Rockburn Cross in the Baltimore Sun


Janene Holzberg from The Baltimore Sun wrote a nice story about the Rockburn 'Cross race. It's in the Howard County section of today's (11/6/08) paper. Nice photos too, including the one of Thor and I posted above. You can check out the story & photos here. The word is getting out. Cyclocross is taking off.

Rockburn CX - tally

So, in the end Gunnar took it wire-to-wire. Aside from that we had a really nice race taking 2nd, 3rd, 8th, and 9th. That was fun. Big thank you to Marc for letting me finish ahead of him for the extra MABRA Series point. ;-)

I wonder if we can wear the Karate Kid skinsuits at Beacon?

Rockburn - Jan!

Jan also rode a super race, nursing ribs hurt in a pre-ride crash. He and Marc were all over the chase group and then Jan launched a furious last lap attack up the climb and held it to finish 3rd.

Rockburn - Sandy turn

We rode this sandy turn a lot during our Wednesday CX practices learning how to rail it. We also worked on the next fast downhill left-sweeper. That practice really helped me during the race, especially on the last lap when I used that course knowledge to get a gap on Sean and Roger.

It was really cool to race at the park where we do our weekly practices. Nothing like a little home-field advantage.

Rockburn - cruise director

Marc marked and controlled the group while Kris went after Gunnar. Tactics in cross are subtle, but can have a big impact on the outcome. Marc rode a very smart race and did a lot of little things that helped our team. That was really cool to be a part of.

Rockburn - Shake and bake

Auer and Birner get free of the group and attempt to bridge. Nice ride by both guys! Way to throw down.

Rockburn - hot pursuit

Gunnar is just off the front and the chase group is still big at this point. The sand got the tiller treatment this year.

Got the hole shot with the teammates Auer, Jan, and fatmarc (just out of the frame) in good position.

I think Gunnar is licking his chops about the leadout I am providing. ;-)
