VOS absolutely crushing the worlds, they should let her race the men this afternoon.

So I never made it to the worlds, but watching from home has been great.

So many thinks while whistling past this graveyard.

Just watching Koksijde (or however it’s spelt). Watching MVDP is a thing of supreme beauty. I hoped Iserbyt would make a go of it after Tabor. He is great, and seeing the almost literal David and Goliath thing is cool.

Now, the bad is that it’s boring enough that by far of my viewing focus and enthusiasm is women’s, and that’s been great to watch. del Carmen is such a great speed/power/handling combo.

Anyone out there?

i haven't really been watching, but i'm going to nats with a buddy in a couple weeks. he's totally turned into a portland cyclocross dad

have a great time. i've lost track of you gbx, i should search ilxor to see yr adventures. if you get back up here and wanna give ski instruction, lemme know, i always take lessons.

i'm now on lap 7/8 of koksijde, and what MVDP does is so next level. the power is insane, but the fluidity AND precision AND power are equally amazing. he's taking 10-15 seconds per lap off people. Even when he momentarily goes off-line due to his aggression, it's just not a thing. the other super-elites are tri-podding along the same sections he RIPS, and they're still in the top 5. VDP is won't likely need to tripod today.

i haven't been adventuring much! honestly been pretty sedentary lately d/t work. that'll be changing soon, though, as i've taken a new job much closer to home. got some time off coming up and am gonna be up in silverton for the first time ever in january B)

MVDP is just insane

went 2 cx nats this weekend, that were fun

good frites?

i opted for some cheese curds at the brewery afterwards

my first time actually going to a real cx race, what a frikkin hoot. even just as a spectator i can see why my buddy, who's now an official portland cyclocross dad, has gone so bonkers for racing. makes me want to check out the nm scene next year

What flipped me out seeing website and name of the 2019 town name was that the 97 or 98 Nats, wayyyy before cx was quite a thing, was sites in my neighboring town, Lakewood, CO. My teammates who’d only upgraded to elite that year were able to race the big time nats event, riding over with their spare wheels on their shoulders. I mean, they got lapped and out, as I recall, bit still. Slow me was just cheering and handing up h2o. *feels antique*

anyhow, sounds really fun.

get to see hecht race? seeing him race as a ~16 y/o against the local pro/elite cat in cx in ~2014 was amazing. usually, when i see those guys my reaction is "wow, they're so small/slight in the real," size-wise.

but even as a kid, hecht was the opposite- i was like, "HOW IS HE SO DAMN GINORMOUS?" he looked like a free safety. pure power. glad to see him do well.

I did get to see him! I did not see this, however:

great angle, terrible circumstance.

Namur World Cup round definitely worth watching. I’ve been watching more women’s than men’s the last year, but the men’s on this one was cracking. In women, Honsinger makin good in her new jersey.

raced cx 2day for the first time

good stuff
