Incredible, icy, snowy, sunny and FUN Cross-Club / Broad Street Cycle "SemiPrestige" race held at Mary's Farm near Goldstream yesterday.
It was between -2 and 2 degrees, on a rolling course mostly covered in snow and/or frozen horse turds, complete with a frozen pond, alpacas and barn cats watching, and the usual array of nutty cyclocrossers doing what we do best.
Sadly, there were only a few hearty Tripleshotters on hand, mostly shivering but strong-willed juniors, including Jack Boden, Talia Hill, Ethan Pauly, Savonah Macleod, Max Field, Thomas Hill, Megan Barnes, plus adults me (David), Lister, Jim Bear Pauly, and MR. SERIOUS, Richie Hughes.
The organizers likely will have one more race just after New Year, the aptly named "Blubber Burn". Can't encourage you folks enough to come out and try, or at least watch and jeer!
