We had a leisurely ride over to the course from our apartment and got a chance to cheer on a few of Kevin's buddies from work. The course was held at the CU Research Park and consisted of a collection of dirt hills, rocks and single track trails. Not perfect cyclocross, but still fun (and very dusty). The single speeds started behind the cat 3 men, and when I say started behind I mean they took off about 20 seconds after, so what ensued was a mass cluster of single speeders swarming the straggling cat 3 riders.
Here is Kevin focused just before his start.
And catching the cat 3s.
And screaming through the dusty trails.
And wheeling in for what I consider an impressive third place finish.
Looking good post race.
Taking a step back from serious racing is a tough transition to make, but races like this should make it a lot easier. Kevin was all smiles both on the course and afterwards, and bikes are supposed to make you smile so I think he's on the right track.
Next Boulder Series race is October 20th. Stay tuned.

Do they have cyclocross in Mason Township? I know two guys, big and small, who should be doing this. ;)
Glad to see you are racing again Kevin, and sassily dressed, of course. Nice to see the hairy legs, too and whats the low-down on that ride, ENO hub or what?
