all pics from schiek Yesterday I went down to College Park MD and met up with my buddy Jon to race the Cross my Heart race put on by Proteus Bikes in College Park. The race was awesome. The course was great, cold icy mud was everywhere, but the weather was warm in the 50s making it really fun.
A nice mix of grass, super fun singletrack, short road section and a “mulch pit”. I guess they had an ice storm earlier in the week and busted their asses to get the course ice free. There was one insanely icy corner in the mulch section. Actually I am suprised they did not just reroute the course around it, cause people were going down. But whatever it made it more epic. I did go down really hard on the first lap in that corner when the guy in front of me wrecked and I couldn’t get around him.
Plus the music on the PA was great, lifetime, kid dynamite, braid, boy sets fire, grade…
Props to them for putting on a cross race in February.
Plus they gave me a pint glass and a pin, very cool .
