Ravensdale Cumberland RR (3/28/10)
In the first stop of the Bunny farewell tour, Dan and I headed down for the Ravensdale-Cumberland Road Race Sunday. Having never done this race and having finished my last road race on the pavement, I was a bit anxious, but needed to get a race under my belt. The weather was a bit iffy [...]
US National Cyclocross Championships: Bend, OR (12/10 – 12/13)
Yetis handing out $1 bills to racers. Heckling from the beer garden near the barriers. Staged 15 rows back. Lapped with two still to go. This is Nationals. Icy cold conditions yielded to snow, ice, mud, and general nastiness as four bunnies descended upon Bend to try their hand with the big guns. With exception [...]
SCX Final: Evergreen Fairgrounds (11/29)
Under gray skies and a week of rain, four bunnies and one recruit headed north to Monroe for the final installment of the much-loved Seattle Cyclocross series. This course featured plenty of places to go fast, numerous 180 degree turns, a gnarly, rocky descent that sent more than one rider on their head, and a mud-filled [...]
SCX #7: Sedro Woolley (11/22)
“Clay. It’s rain, dead leaves, dust, all my dead ancestors. Stones that have been ground into sand. Mud. The whole cycle of life and death.” -Martine Vermeulen Under the conditions that could only be described as perfect for ‘cross, a modicum of bunnies struggled against sizeable obstacles in the name of glory, pride, and [...]
MFG #6: Woodland Park Gran Prix (11/15)
A cold rain greeted riders the morning of the Woodland Park GP, the final stop of the MFG Series. However racers and spectators alike were enticed by the mass of tape and throngs of people as they entered the park. What States lacked in mud Saturday, the Woodland Park GP definitely made up for on [...]
SCX #6: Sprinker Recreation Center (11/8)
Greasy turns, an ambiguous sandpit, and two asphalt straightaways provided a speedy venue for the SCX #6. This course makes a quick transition from wide asphalt to technical turns, which makes a solid start particularly helpful. Four bunnies rolled from the line in the Master 3 race, with heavy hitters J and Will getting a [...]
SCX #5: Maris Farms (11/1)
Five bunnies dared to challenge the muddy, cambered, pumpkin-laden fields of Maris Farms for the fifth installment in the Seattle Series. It turns out hell is a lot colder and family-friendly than we thought. Everyone knows hell features cloven-hooved animals, but few knew it has a corn maze. The Master 3 race was a spread-out mudfest [...]
MFG #5: King County CX; Evergreen (10/31)
After much hubbub about a last-minute venue change, three bunnies (and one potential) turned out to race a pleasant surprise of a course out at Evergreen HS. This course expanded its footprint into adjacent Lakewood Park, which chagrined many a tall-boy guzzlin’ hip-pack wearin’ disc golfer but brought whole new potential to this venue. We [...]
SCX #4: Steilacoom (10/25)
With much angst, furrowed brows, and plans for retribution after last week’s Masters 3 Silver Lake Bunny Debacle (italicized = historically-significant), the usual slew of warriors lined up under cold, damp (but not rainy) conditions to give a little back to the hollowed CX grounds of Ft. Steilacoom State Park. For some, it would be their first “run-upless” [...]
