Somewhere in the Oregon high desert, bound for Bend. The final final of the CX season 2009...two chances to go fast....
I got the miracle ticket front row call up for the SS race on Friday, unfortunately didn't have the ice skating skills to get it going up to speed. Equal time on the ground as on the bike it seemed, sloppy ride good enough for a 16th though. Good thing a snowboarder won. Next year...
Beautiful conditions for the Saturday's Masters race...mud without rain, gotta love the thaw. All things go on this one, despite the 100+ deep start position and the massive leadout road pileup....pinball skills helped. 
And just like that, it's over...could there be a better shot to sum up the season? I don't think so. Brother Mike killing a camo milw brew making the hometown crowd pleased. Cheers pdxcross.com nailing this one. A perfect transition to the winter that comes NOW.
