rcannon100, where did you get this photo from?

The event was super cool. I raced the first race at 8:15 and nearly everything was still frozen. That was a good thing, I assume as things melted it got tougher. Had a good race and finished 10th.

My only disappointment, the beer tent could not open early enough for me. I assume that fault lies with the VA State Gov.

Hey a few of us were in the same race with you. Tim Kelley crushed it on a mtb and finished 2nd. I battled with ShawnoftheDread but he bested me and took 6th, I finished 7th. Glad you came out to race, sorry I didn’t know who you were.

A few other forum members raced – congrats all!

• KayakCyndi finished 4th in women’s cat 4
• tuba transport finished 5th in men’s cat 4/5
• Erin C finished 6th in women’s 3/4
• rule#10 finished 5th in men’s cat 3/4 35+
• rcannon100 jr. finished 6th in men’s cat 4/5
• DaveK raced in men’s cat 3/4

Saw a few other forum members: Mark Blacknell, consularrider, rcannon100, rockford10 + boys, megabeth, dgm – sorry if i missed anyone. It was a great day of racing, thanks all for coming out.

I was not sure who you all were either. I was the guy on the Ti 29er hardtail with Jones bars The link is to a photo of me and my bike in the DCCX. I had a white Potomac Velo jersey on this weekend and orange grips on the bars.

I was not super far behind you three in 7-9th mid-second lap. I had a hope to catch you after the low hump barriers, but I did something way dumb. I turned too early in a turn and got caught up in the tape. Getting myself extracted pegged my heart rate. I did not recover until after the sand pit and then it was too late for me to close the gap. Even without this, at best I would have caught but not passed 9th and 8th (David Stearman and Brian Indre) No way would have I caught you.

So looking forward to the 45 plus 3/4/5 next year. Wish I could have gotten the 10 races in this year to move to cat 4.

I was there, too, sans dogs this week (since I was technically “working”). I was the medic, if anyone noticed a blond girl walking around with a medic bag (or mostly, cheering everyone as they went over the Happy Humps since it was thankfully a pretty uneventful race for me!).

Everyone seemed to really enjoy the course and had a blast. Congrats to everyone who raced and double congrats to those that podiumed! (Is that a word?) 😎

When does registration open for that??

Looks like it is open now: https://www.bikereg.com/snotcycle

Not sure I’m gonna do it (I think I’ve only actually done it once — maybe twice). Never raced at the Freedom Center either. I’ll give it some thought, though; I had a blast the year I did it.

First loser! Well, first place was way off the front and I wasn’t going to catch him on a wide open course like that. Time to buy a CX bike!

Oh, and I would have done the 4/5, but I had stuff going on in the afternoon!

What a spectacular day! The race went off so well and everyone had a great time. I spent so much time running around between marshalling, tending the sand pit, registration and a little racing that I took very few pictures. But Dave took these two:

Good News (think Farnsworth). There is still some CX racing this season if you want to head up to Philly

Better than doing 33 laps around HP any day!

I am not the biggest fan of GoPro like stuff, but this is freaking amazing. From the 4/5 race. Love the readout of cadence, speed, etc…
