Boulder Res CX #1

Redstone & I Made our way to the Boulder Res for the the 3rd stop on the Boulder Racing Cyclocross series. The weather was amazing, to good for cyclocross & that amount of sand. A little moisture is always welcome on this course. This baby doesn't fit my strengths & is basically a glorified road crit. Again, I didn't get called up & had to fight my way through the 3's field. The size of the field was smaller than the last round but still took a lot out of me to fight through. I was able to work my way up to the 3 leaders. I saw the leader make his move with a guy between us. Homeboy didn't respond & by the time i figured out he wasn't going to I had let the leader get away. I was unable to close the gap but cruised in 2nd for the first podium of the new season. Hopefully this race will up the high end with the BIG weekend coming.

Good effort Chad, way to represent. At least it wasn't drivetrain killin, brake pad mauling wet sand.

by "called up" does that mean they give you better position on the line, or does that mean you get upgraded to racing with the pros?
