well here we go again lots of pain and punishment to begin the end of year cyclocross season . I did have one of my better cross races finishing 6th, however I have found two more things to be angry about the first which really only concerns me is when someone who you just beat comes up and claims he would have beat you for whatever reason. (because any excuse is really lame and this one was very weak) if you really had the ability to beat that guy in front of you i dont think a 5 sec situation is going to change anything especially if you then lose to the guy in front buy 30 sec or more. The next thing for me to bitch about is the notorious ed delgros who for what ever reason decided to race b masters it would have been bad enough for him to race b again which i could have dealt with but to race b 40 + when there is an A 40+ is crazy. the guy(Rick A) who came in sec in the b masters is the real winner of that race. The race its self was really good I had a below average start didnt really see the eventual winner (tony marut) after that point. i worked my way up to the lead group and figured i would just do my best to hang but the make up of the pack changed constantly with guys falling off and people catching on and going right buy. i eventually ended up with rick from snakebite for about a lap or two then i was alone for a whole bunch of laps with a group close behind. the small group did catch me and one guy came around and punched it so i jumped and found his wheel for a lap then we ran into traffic and he made a mistake trying to go wide around a guy in the tight downhill corner and the slower rider stopped to run down the hill. i had chose to go through on the inside and went through with no problems . so i then went the last two laps with out incident except for delgros passing me and watching him crash into the backstop fence. so it was a good race for me i could have done somethings much better and got lucky on some others including missing tearing my head off buy about six inch's

That's quite a cross crew you have there. Congrats on the 6th place. Glad to see they're still racing at that park in Cleveland. That was a fun course.
Don't even get me started about Delgros. I didn't even have to race against him and he's pissing me off all the way in Idaho.
Nice conversion of your 9.8 by the way.
